Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Sault à Bédoin

This ride starts in Sault, a charming village known for its sweeping lavender fields and as a gateway to Mont Ventoux. The route takes you on a 30 km adventure over mostly quiet roads and tracks, dipping in and out of woodlands and open vistas. There’s a solid climb at the beginning as you make your way up to about 1,000 meters, but the rest is a rewarding descent toward Bédoin.

Surfaces are mixed—so expect everything from paved stretches to some gravel and unpaved sections. It’s best to tackle this one with a gravel or sturdy hybrid bike. As you cruise down toward Bédoin, the scenery flips from wild plateau to lush vineyards and orchards. Bédoin welcomes you at the base of the legendary Mont Ventoux, a famous launch point for cyclists aiming for the summit.

All in, it’s a route for those who love quiet countrysides and don’t mind a little variety under their wheels!
