Coming soon - The Tour de France

The 100th Tour de France will be heading up Mont Ventoux on Bastille Day, July 14th and we shall be there to watch.




The stage covers over 240 kilometres with the gruelling end at the top of Ventoux at 1912 metres.


We were very impressed by Richard, one of our gite clients who cycled up from Bedion to the top in abt 2 hours, a fantastic achievement on a pretty hot day.

Susan, Richard's wife was there as support and to meet him at the top, here Richard has taken a short pause at the memorial to Tommy Simpson.

We are ideally located for cycling, whether you prefer the flat route adjacent to the River Callavon 
or for the real enthusiasts the challenge of Ventoux.
