The tourist service at Bédoin :
The route takes you through the centre of Bedoin, a village renowned for its typical Provençal market held on Mondays. It then snakes across the southern piedmont of Mont Ventoux.
The trail, which is aimed at experienced cyclists, then traverses the ochre-coloured landscape of the Demoiselles Coiffées, and the traditional hamlets of Les Baux and Ste Colombe before climbing the first foothills of the so-called “Giant of Provence.” After a lovely, technically-challenging, downhill run through the Combe d’Ansis, the loop leads you along some gentler paths back to Bedoin.
