From the start, cycling has been a common thread through our relationship. Whether on a racing bike, mountain bike or on a packed holiday bike; we all like it equally. Cycling holidays with a racing and\/or mountain bike in Europe, interspersed with long journeys through, for example, Kenya &amp; Tanzania, South Africa &amp; Lesotho, Nepal and Thailand and a 6-month cycling tour from Lima (Peru) to Ushuaia (southernmost town in South America).<\/p>\n<h2>But not only cycling<\/h2>\n<p>By the way, it&#8217;s not just cycling that we like to do; we also enjoy hiking, trail running and cross-country skiing.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to renting out our g\u00eete, we keep ourselves also busy with <a href=\"https:\/\/burorader.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buro RaDer<\/a>, our web design company.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/reve-provencal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/erwin-derksen-margriet-ravensbergen-le-reve-provencal.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Erwin Derksen and Margriet Ravensbergen from Le R\u00eave Proven\u00e7al&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Erwin Derksen and Margriet Ravensbergen from Le R\u00eave Proven\u00e7al&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;252e04d1-cf21-4179-b94d-b3a94039e31a&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;9607542c-8c92-4a0f-baff-f4f557e167a2&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#D8E9DD&#8221; transform_rotate=&#8221;0deg|0deg|3deg&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>The name Le R\u00eave Proven\u00e7al.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was not only our dream to settle in the Dr\u00f4me Proven\u00e7ale, but in Dutch the word for &#8220;dream&#8221; is &#8220;droom&#8221;.
