Road cycling

The Col de Notre-Dame des Abeilles (often simply called Col des Abeilles) is a pass in Provence, located at an altitude of 1,000 m, between the municipalities of Monieux, Sault and Flassan, at the foot of the southern slope of Mont Ventoux. It is a climb much appreciated by cyclists, especially as a link between the Gorges de la Nesque and the Ventoux.

Start of the climb to Col des Abeilles. A good 15km uphill, but never too steep. You go up to 1000m altitude. Nice, lesser-known climb.
