The tourist service at Vaison-la-Romaine :
These three cycling itineraries are ideal for lovers of nature, peace and quiet, and French heritage.
All along this circuit you will cycle through Roman ruins, a medieval city, Knights Templar villages, and hilltop villages. Three rivers - the Aygues, the Ouvèze and the Toulourenc - have shaped the countryside through which these cycling itineraries take you. Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail stand tall over the landscapes. The medieval village circuit takes you into the scenic areas in the Drôme Provençale, with Mollans-sur-Ouvèze and Buis-les-Baronnies for example.
