Done during the GF ventoux. Beautiful pass with a great view of the Ventoux. A good appetiser before tackling the grande chauve.

Faite durant la GF ventoux. Beau col avec une belle vu sur le ventoux. Une belle mise en bouche avant d'attaquer la grande chauve

Blessed descent along this beautiful winding road that is nicely situated at the back of the Ventoux, and can be used as a connecting road between e.g. Sault and Buis-les-Baronnies.

Zalig afgedaald langs deze prachtige bochtige weg die mooi gelegen is aan de achterzijde van de Ventoux, en als verbindingsweg kan gebruikt worden tussen bvb Sault en Buis-les-Baronnies.

Fine climb of 4/5 % where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. The road winds pleasantly through the landscape and at the top you have a nice view of the Ventoux. Did this climb as a nice 110km tour around Mont Ventoux.

Fijne klim van 4/5 % waarbij je heerlijk kunt genieten van de mooie omgeving. De weg slingert aangenaam door het landschap en boven heb je mooi zicht op de Ventoux. Heb dit klimmetje gedaan als mooie tocht van 110 km om de Mont Ventoux heen.

Gradual climb with nice views along the way. At the top, you can snap a photo with Mont Ventoux in the background. Wide road and apart from some cyclists did not encounter many cars's.

Geleidelijke klim met mooie uitzichten onderweg. Aan de top kan je een foto trekken met de Mont Ventoux op de achtergrond. Brede weg en naast wat fietsers niet veel auto's tegengekomen.

Nice winding climb that doesn't get steep anywhere and can be paddled up quietly to enjoy the scenery or rammed upwards. There are very cool kilometre signs with the gradients along the side as if it were an HC climb ;-)
Photogenic sign at the summit with the Ventoux in the background

Mooie slingerende klim die nergens steil wordt en die je rustig op kan peddelen om van de omgeving te genieten of in behoorlijk tempo naar boven kan rammen. Er staan heel stoer de bekende kilometerbordjes met de stijgingspercentages langs de kant alsof het een HC klim is ;-)

I've been there several times. Once in pursuit of a fellow cyclist who did not give in. Finally just not overtaken and completely empty, but a reasonable time for me. Quite a nice climb with always the panorama of the north side of the Ventoux.

Ik was er al meermaals. Een keer in achtervolging op een mede-wielertoerist die niet toegaf. Uiteindelijk net niet ingehaald en compleet leeg, maar wel een voor mij redelijke tijd neergezet. Best wel een mooie klim met steeds het panorama van noordzijde van de Ventoux.

Nice and pleasant climb through the beautiful landscape of the Drôme. Not that you have much view, because the Mont-Ventoux towers above the landscape and casts a big shadow. Good broad road with reasonable traffic.

Leuke aangename klim door het prachtige landschap van het de Drôme. Niet dat je veel uitzicht hebt, want de Mont-Ventoux torent boven het landschap uit en werpt een grote schaduw. Goede brede weg met redelijk wat verkeer.
