Description

Meet us in Avignon at 8:00 a.m. and embark on an unforgettable day of cycling to conquer the legendary Giant of Provence: Le Mont Ventoux!

After a short drive of less than an hour in our van, you will arrive at Flassan, a small village perched on the southern slope of Mont Ventoux.

It will be time to get on your bike and start pedaling to warm up, heading for the village of Bédoin, where we can have a coffee in one of the many bars in the center of the village.

After a final safety briefing, we will head toward Sainte-Colombe and then to the famous Saint-Estève bend, where it all begins!

In the forest, in the shade of tall trees, you will climb the first slopes of Mont Ventoux for about 10 kilometers. The electric assistance of your bike will allow you to easily reach Chalet Reynard for a well-deserved break.

As if drawn by its power, we will then continue toward the summit of Mont Ventoux. This final 6-kilometer climb will take place in a lunar, rocky, and sometimes windy landscape. Mont Chauve (Bald Mountain) lives up to its name!

Once you reach the Col des Tempêtes, you will face the final climb, then the last hairpin bend, and finally the summit at 1,912 meters!!!

After catching your breath, you will enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panorama – the perfect moment to relive and share your ascent with your loved ones, congratulate yourselves warmly, and capture this moment with beautiful souvenir photos!!!

With appetites whetted, we'll descend a few meters for a lunch break at the brasserie.

Then it's time to think about heading back down, putting on your windbreakers, and setting off on a descent of about 45 minutes, where controlling your speed and being cautious will be the key words.

After passing St-Estève and Ste-Colombe, we'll leisurely return to the van and its comfort. Relaxation guaranteed!

Relax on the way back, your heart and mind filled with unforgettable memories of this day spent conquering Mont Ventoux.
