    Tips

    1.4km before arriving in Malaucène, going down from Ventoux, you will find the resurgence and source of Grosseau. Very relaxing and pleasant place, especially in the event of strong heat. The village itself will offer you something to eat and it has no less than four bicycle shops. The old "intramural" center is very charming.

      This is where the “west ramp” starts up to Mont Ventoux. Here you can strengthen yourself again before you tackle the approximately 21-kilometer driveway.

        On the outskirts you can see if the driveway is open

          In the descent from the Ventoux, at the first intersection, head straight for a bike shop that offers all sorts of Ventoux devotional items in case the memory of a great tour is not enough.

            Charming place, less people than Bédoine, good food and friendly people

                    Nice village on the north side of Mont Ventoux. In 2021 Wout Van Aert won the stage in the Tour de France with 2 times the Mont Ventoux and arrival in Malaucene.

                        Nice place to refuel. Coming from the summit, or to start driving.

                          A Provencal market takes place here every Wednesday. In this village you will find many bicycle shops where you can rent a bicycle, including an E-bike.

                                  One of the three towns starts for the climb to Ventoux.
                                  Many restaurants to eat after (or before) the climb.

                                        Cycling hub in the region. Most rides up Mont Ventoux start from here (other starting points are Sault & Bedoin) - but the road up to the summit from Malaucene is probably the easiest out of the three.

                                            The chalet marks the starting point of the famous last part of the ascent of Mont Ventoux. The summit is 6 km away.
