Mont Ventoux

It is on the square in front of the old summit observatory that most of the cyclists who climb Mont Ventoux meet because the sign “summit of Mont Ventoux 1,912 meters” is there and all the climbers of the whole world wants to take the famous photo. There is sometimes a queue.

On this square are the Belvedere of Provence which offers views of the Albion plateau to the Mediterranean and the Belvedere of the Alps which opens onto the northern part. On a clear day, you can clearly see the department of Drôme, the Pre-Alps and the Alps.

By climbing slightly to the base of the antenna, you will be able to read below written on the ground, in large figures, the new official measurement of the Giant of Provence by the IGN: 1,910 meters.

There is an observatory and various transmission systems on Mont Ventoux. The location for this is well chosen, as in good weather you can see the highest peaks of the Alps and Pyrenees as well as the Mediterranean from here.

What a panorama 😍
