Lifted from Motorrad Freizeit magazine (find it on the Readly app) this is a suggested six day tour, starting and ending in Orange. As Orange is on the main north to south motorway route from Calais to Marseille, you could get there in a (longish) day or an easier two days.
It’s 1,400 km long, call that 870 miles. Over six days that translates to only 145 miles a day on average, so plenty of time to see things, stop for lunches and take pictures. Or just ride it in less.
Suggested direction to take:
Day 1 Orange to Eigliers
Day 2 Eigliers to St Michel L’Observatoire
Day 3 St Michel L’Observatoire to Figanieres
Day 4 Figanieres to Le Lavandou
Day 5 Le Lavandou to St Remy de Provence
Day 6 St Remy de Provence to Orange

Zoom in to copy it or hit ‘Export’. If exporting into BaseCamp for use on a Garmin device, I’d recommend exporting it as a track and working from there.
