Cycling day trip from Bédoin to Sault

Looking for a classic Provencal cycling adventure? This route takes you from the charming village of Bédoin, famous as a jump-off point for climbing Mont Ventoux, all the way to Sault—another picturesque Provençal gem surrounded by lavender fields. The ride is just over 31 km, with a hearty ascent of around 1,058 meters, so be ready to test your legs on some serious climbs!

You’ll pedal mostly on tracks and quiet roads, soaking up gorgeous views of rolling hills, scattered vineyards, and those iconic stone farmhouses. The route is about three-quarters missing from detailed surface reports, but expect a mix of paved, gravel, and even some unpaved stretches—so a gravel or sturdy road bike is best.

Bédoin is known for its lively markets and cycling culture, while Sault is your gateway to endless lavender in summer. Perfect for a scenic, challenging ride with a laid-back Provençal vibe. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a coffee and pastry in Sault’s village square at the finish!
