A rather pretty ruined bridge. A majestic suspension bridge that must have been truly magnificent in its heyday! On the other side of the current bridge, there's a view of a small village on a lovely little hill, with marshy areas in front; it reminded me (just a little) of a Wish-like Mont Saint-Michel!

beautiful outing with wonderful weather

The devil is in the tail! The last 1km sections between 16-20%. On the other side, be careful and don't go too fast. The ambulance that came towards me almost took me away...

The Luberon, famous for its mountain pastures exploited since Antiquity, is home to an old farm, restored by the Luberon Regional Natural Park, which today serves as a sheepfold and reception center. An apricot orchard, dedicated to the conservation of old varieties, resists despite difficult terrain and recurring droughts. Roger Jouve, a former breeder who grew up on this site, brings his expertise in management and local biodiversity to the park, thanks to his ancestral knowledge.

The village of Mérindol is directly linked to the Vaudois movement. This movement was born from the preaching of a simple layman named Vaudès. This religious dissidence was first tolerated by the Roman Church. It was then rejected, the name "Vaudois" even becoming synonymous with sorcerer or heretic. The movement of the poor of Lyon (another name given to the Waldensians) was born around the year 1170 from a rich bourgeois from Lyon named Valdès who was keen to return to the humility of the early times of Christianity. Driven out of Lyon, the movement spread where Vaudois preachers could still preach publicly. He settled in Provence and especially in the county of Toulouse, as well as in northern Italy. It is in Mérindol that the bloody massacre of the Vaudois began in 1545. A path of memory remains from this terrible past with some vestiges of these bygone times at the height of the current village.

The Saint-Denis chapel is located on the north side of the Calès site. It is accessed by a steep path beginning above the Saint-Denis fountain. It was built around 1150 and was the first parish church of the community of Calès and later of the village of Lamanon. It was restored several times between 1989 and 1999. Thanks to these restorations, the church remains the only intact element of the medieval occupation of Calès.

The Col de Sainte Anne de Lambesc is 3.9 km long with a total drop of 228 m. The average gradient is 5.8% with maximum gradients of 13.7%. The steepest slopes arrive in the last 900 meters.

Steep climb with the venom in the tail, the last 500m you drive past some switchbacks and from then on it gets progressively steeper than 14%. Steepest 100m at 20%. Once at the top it goes down steeply again
