La Provençale is a road cycling cyclosportive that begins in Manosque, located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region of southern France. Participants select from multiple routes, with distances ranging from 74 km to 166 km. This allows the day to serve as a demanding personal challenge or a more moderate excursion through Provence, rather than a single, fixed race format.
The routes depart from Manosque and enter the lavender-growing areas, featuring winding roads and mountain vistas that define a significant portion of the ride. The event caters to a wide range of participants: strong club riders and professionals may test their abilities on the longer courses, while cycling enthusiasts can select a distance appropriate for their fitness and experience level.
