Beaumont-du-Ventoux

Travel Guide

Located in Provence, Mont Ventoux is one of the most famous climbs used in the Tour de France. With a summit at 1911m above sea level it also offers an epic challenge to any cyclist. There are three routes to the top: from Bedoin, from Sault or from Malaucene.

The famous 'moonscape' opens out approximately 6km from the summit, the wind and lack of protection making for some tough riding conditions . Although a summit selfie is obligatory after such an epic achievement, this view gives a distinct sense of how far you've come. The wagon selling cookies and treats at the height of the season is an added bonus!

 View of Mont Ventoux from our terrace looking West
I went to Mont Ventoux a year after the Tour de France used it on their route, but you could still admire the graffiti on the road!  The lower slopes are wooded, but half way up you arrive to a barren moonscape - according to the car temperature gauge it was 10 degrees at the foot of the hill and -4 by the time we got half way up.

More than basic- not clean and do not recommend
The cleaners had left the door open during a rain storm so the living room had a huge puddle and the curtains had soaked up the water and it smelled awful. Also we had asked for a baby cot in advance and reconfirmed the day before but there was no cot meaning there was nowhere for our child to sleep ...
