The Nesque River gives its name to the canyon, through which runs the road that no Ventoux conqueror is allowed to miss. The view is terrific!

The Nesque gorges are breathtaking views, a long but very gentle and gradual climb, asphalt of impeccable quality. A dream route that fulfills all the wishes of the happy cyclist one by one. You can't get enough of these gorges.

May 24, 2026,Gorges de Méthamis - Gorges de la Nesque 🇫🇷🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️

Very warm, tough Sunday morning tour on the tracks of @Falcão from Villes-sur-Auzon. Via Méthamis, we climbed along the Gorges de Méthamis up to Saint-Hubert and then descended back down towards Monieux. This descent really takes a lot of strength, steep and rough asphalt with many unevennesses. You have to hold the handlebars really tight.
