We recently had a request which combined two of our favourite trips. Here is the result. You get three days of car-free rides in the "back and beyond" Gorges of this hidden, unknown French region. At the end of day three we take a short van ride to your next destination in Provence; Bedoin or Crillon la Brave at the foot of Mont Ventoux. This itinerary is one of our rare trips that involves a van transfer. Next up you have three days of sublime riding in one of France's best regions for cycling. There is a lot more to Bedoin than just Mont Ventoux; the surrounding area has some stunning and scenic rolling roads with minimal traffic, just perfect for intermediate/leisure cyclists and experts alike.
This trip is definitely not for the faint of heart as the roads in the Gorges are quite narrow with steep drop-offs, switchbacks, dark, unlit tunnels and over-hanging rock walls.
Every day there are longer or shorter rides available. All of the rides in the Gorges take us into the middle of nowhere, so chances of having a sit-down lunch option are slim. The rare village that we cycle through, might have a goat. That's not enough. So, included in the trip price are daily snacks and drinks. Once we arrive in Provence the lunch options really open up.

Ride Difficulty 7 or 8/10
Daily distances can be as big you want but bear in mind that we start at the bottom of the Gorges and ride up into the mountains, so there will be quite a bit of climbing. Once we get to the Ventoux region, you can have rolling, hilly or mountainous riding. Plenty of choice. This is one of our trips where you can change bike styles mid-week. E-Bike for Ventoux anyone?
