Spectacular Provence 🇨🇵 giant. Respect for all the bicycle 🚲 heroes ( not the electric 💡 ones) 🫶🏼🙏🏼😎🙂😁 Epic!!! Great climb. The best. Did all three sides. Bedoin Sault Malauscene. Awesome downhills too. You can’t help but feel it’s a cyclists mountain and large amounts of guilt plus ‘hats off’ to all cyclists who make it to the top. Don’t forget a nod to Tom Simpson’s monument near the top. Do read ‘Put me back on my bike’ by William Fotheringhay about his life. Wow! Busier than expected as there in Mid September, but the weather was good, so maybe not surprising. Iconic mountain in southern France, featured often in Tour de France. Summit finish with 360 degree views. There is a cafe stop near the top. Two routes are popular fir cyclists. Depending on the season, check to make sure they are open as they can be closed for snow. Nice mountain worth a visit if you’re in the area. There is a cycle path going up ,which is included in the tour de france, as well as a road. The mountain provides excellent views throughout south east france. Stunning place to cycle to and be apart of history. Of course you can enjoy the views from the top not only bike bike but be respectful for the riders to your journey to the top One of the visual landmarks that watch over Provence. For cycling enthusiasts, climbing to the top is a once-in-a-lifetime goal. For those with sporty inclinations, the ascent can be approached both on foot (there are marked routes) and by bicycle. This time, we went up by car starting from Malaucenne. Numerous cyclists on the road, of all ages, to whom drivers must be cautious and offer them the necessary courtesy in traffic. I was impressed by several mountain running enthusiasts I met along the way. The scenery is superb, especially in the alpine hollow area, where the view is absolutely gorgeous at 360 degrees. Pay attention to the weather because, at the top, weather conditions can change radically in a few minutes. Even though it was hot down in the valley (34-36 C), up on the peak, it was only 20-21, and the cold wind was blowing hard. Have a jacket ready, too. Don't forget your supplies as upstairs there is only a souvenir shop and a small bar with a relatively limited offer. Even if you only have one day to visit Provence, if the weather is excellent and the sky is clear, I recommend starting the day with the ascent of Mont Ventoux and then checking off a few other unmissable places: Gordes, Roussilo on, Abbaye de Sennanque, Chateaxuneuf du Pape , Avignon.
