Quick ride by bicycle from Bédoin to Malaucène

Get ready for a scenic ride from Bédoin to Malaucène! Starting in the charming village of Bédoin, famous as a gateway to Mont Ventoux (a legendary climb in the Tour de France), you’ll wind your way along quiet country roads and tracks. The route is around 19 km and packs in some nice rolling hills, with just over 450 meters of ascent and plenty of beautiful Provençal scenery.

Most of your ride is on smooth asphalt, but expect about half of the surfaces to be missing from official records—so keep your eyes open for the occasional rustic lane or unmarked rural track. There’s very little traffic, giving you a peaceful ride past vineyards, farms, and olive groves.

After a bit less than two hours in the saddle (at a casual pace), you’ll cruise into Malaucène. This lively little town is packed with cafés and makes the perfect spot to refuel, with its historic old center and view of Ventoux in the distance. Enjoy a leisurely ride and treat yourself to a post-ride coffee or ice cream when you arrive!
