Departure from Beaumes-de-Venise (Vaucluse)
A loop starting from Beaumes-de-Venise, around the hill on which the village is built, offers an interesting journey into the past.
You will discover Notre-Dame d'Aubune (12th century), its spring and its incredible bell tower, the Grottes d'Ambrosi (former millstone quarries), the oppidum des Courens where the remains of a 5th-century necropolis can still be seen, the Chapelle Saint-Hilaire (7th-12th century), the ruins of the feudal castle overlooking the baumes (caves inhabited since prehistoric times that gave the commune its name). Not to mention the superb panoramic views of the Comtat Venaissin plain to the south, the Dentelles de Montmirail to the north, and Mont Ventoux further to the east.

Departure from Bédoin (Vaucluse)
Bédoin - Mont Ventoux is a legendary stage of the Tour de France cycling race. This hike provides more direct access to the summit, via paths that follow the ridges and valleys of the mountain's southern slope. At the beginning, the paths run through pretty woodland, which is magnificent in autumn. Towards the end, the paths cross the rocky landscape of light-coloured stones at the summit of the mountain. Along the way, you will come across "jas", mountain sheepfolds built from dry stone walls.
