Mont VentouxFull day tour from Avignon
 Come and take pictures at the top of the Mont Ventoux
At a height of 1912 meters, it’s fantastic...
Mont Ventoux is a mountain in the Provence region of southern France, located some 35 km north-east of Avignon. It is by far the biggest mountain in the region and has been dubbed the "Giant of Provence".
Mont Ventoux, although geologically part of the Alps, is often considered to be separate from them, due to the lack of mountains of a similar height nearby.
It stands alone to the west of the Luberon , and just to the east of the Dentelles de Montmirail, its foothills. Back to the Dentelles de Montmirail at the village of Suzette in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail (eastern side), Suzette is a small village clinging to a rocky outcrop at an altitude of 410 metres in the middle of the Saint-Amand cirque. Visit of the Cave de Beaumes de Venise (great muscat wine cellar. Beaumes de Venise give the impression that it is built into a hill. The village situated at the foot of the Courens plateau, owes its name to the numerous caves (or baumes) on the hill. The village nestled at the foot of the famous Dentelles de Montmirail, offering it a natural rampart against the Mistral wind.

The top of the mountain is bare limestone without vegetation or trees.
The white limestone on the mountain’s barren peak means it appears from a distance to be snow-capped all year round (its snow cover actually lasts from December to April).
The view from the top of Mont Ventoux is correspondingly superb.
