A moderate, steady climb will be rewarded with exceptional panoramic views of both the Rhône valley and a hilly landscape with terraced vineyards, magnified by the sharp outline of the limestone Dentelles. The silhouette of Mont Ventoux, the star of the Haut Vaucluse, can be seen in the distance to the west.
