Scenic climb, tougher than it looks but worth the detour
Of all the short climbs around Bédoin, this is the prettiest and by far my favourite. You get the full range of Provençal vegetation in just 3km! You ride through vineyards, olive groves, fruit trees, ferns and cacti. It's so quiet that the birds are singing and all you can hear are them.
At the top, we descend and climb back up the other side, which is completely different. We find ourselves in a pretty little forest and the percentage reaches 15%.
A very pleasant little walk so close and yet so far from the Ventoux!
Parmi les petites ascensions autour de Bédoin, c’est la plus mignonne et c’est de loin ma préférée. Vous avez un panel complet de la végétation provençale concentré sur 3km ! Vous roulez entre vignes, oliviers, arbres fruitiers, fougères et cactus. C’est si calme que les oiseaux chantent et que l’on n’entend qu’eux.
En haut, on redescend et on remonte par l’autre « versant » qui est absolument différent. On se retrouve dans une jolie petite forêt et le pourcentage atteint 15%.
Très agréable petite balade à la fois si près et si loin du Ventoux !
