The Mont Ventoux
Mont Ventoux peaks at 1912 m altitude, and stands guard over Provence.
Ranked as UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Mont Ventoux, known as the Giant
of Provence »,
is home to outstanding flora and fauna. It is a legendary challenge to bikers
and car racers, and its many paths are paradise for nature hikers. Picturesque
villages nestle in the sides of Mont Ventoux, and are delightful to stroll and
explore. Mont Ventoux stands as a frontier between two climates, and the contrast
between the north and south slopes is amazing.
