The Mont Ventoux, Giant of Provence

For centuries, Mont Ventoux has fascinated visitors, attracting intrepid explorers such as Petrarch, who was the first to climb its slopes in the 14th century. Today, it is world-famous thanks to the Tour de France cycle race, where its arduous ascent by bike is an emblematic challenge. There are three routes up the mountain: via Bédoin on the southern side, via Malaucène to the north and via Sault to the east.
