サン・ディディエ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

One of my favorite climbs here. Nice and steady, no steep ramps, relatively good surface, depending on how long it's been since you last climbed the loose gravel, and a length you wouldn't find back home in the Heuvelland.

The place is the namesake of the department of Vaucluse. Until 1946, this was also the official name of the municipality. In order to avoid confusion, it was decided in that year to change the name to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Vaucluse is derived from the Latin "Vallis clausa" which means "closed valley". During the Middle Ages, the village church was a place of pilgrimage because of the tomb of Bishop Veranus of Cavaillon.

Not as well known as Rustrel and Roussillon - out of season you can spend hours alone here.

I love this climb. Nice rhythm and good for pushing yourself to the limit and it gets flatter at the top. Rolls well too, unless it's recently plastered with grit (usually in autumn).

Superb regular and pleasant climb.

Beautiful aqueduct, canal above, Sorgue below.

Here you can comfortably admire a large area with exposed ochre rocks. 🥰 The gorge mentioned is located elsewhere and - as of June 2024 - has not yet been mapped. There are many hiking trails in this beautiful area.

The crossing at the top of the aqueduct is a must during a bike/gravel outing along the Carpentras canal. The view is superb more than 25 m above the Sorgue. Please note that the passage of an electric bike or a travel bike with loaded panniers can be problematic at the gates located at each end of the structure.
