The village of Beaumont du Ventoux nestles on the
foot hills of the mountain, Mt Ventoux. Famous as
the giant of Provence and a great attraction for
cyclists, being one of the iconic accents during the
Tour de France cycle race. The summit is at almost 2000m.
The summit is above the tree line, mostly gravel,
and looks like a lunar landscape
This is taken from the ski ressort of Mt Serein,
five kms from the summit seen here
Here is the mountain in all it's glory,
from the lavender fields,
from the vinyards
This year the 100th anniversary of the Tour went
through Malaucène and finished on the summit.
