Meet The Giant of the Provence!

Rent a holiday home here in the region of Vaison La Romaine between the vineyards and beautiful villages. Here, you will encounter the Giant of the Provence, also known as the Bald Mountain or as the gem of the Vaucluse, reaching higher than its surroundings.

The famous Mont Ventoux is the pride of the local population and of the many people who have a holiday home in the France. Vaison la Romaine is known for being on the “Plus Beaux Détours de France” list, which means it is one of the most worthwhile places to visit in France. Quite right if you ask us, when you consider the beautiful natural phenomenon that is Mont Ventoux.

From your holiday home, the mountain can be discovered by foot or cycling. Even the most prepared cyclists see a challenge in the steep trails Mont Ventoux is known for.

If you are renting a holiday home in the Provence in the area of Mont Ventoux, the amazing panoramic views on the Provence and the unique flora and fauna of the Vaucluse. At the foot of the mountain there’s Comtat Venaissin on the one side and Carpentras, the Valley of Toulourenc and Val de Sault on the other side. Both sides offer traditionally French products: Comtat Venaissin has many vineyards and truffle farms, adjacent to the strawberries of Carpentras and the lavender fields of Val de Sault. The diversity is breathtaking.

When following the path of the Giant of the Provence, the landscape becomes rocky. Once you have reached the top, you will be able witness a beautiful view over the Camargue, the Lubéron and the Alpilles. Maybe you will see your holiday home from up there! When the sky is clear the Alps, the Cévennes and the Mediterranean Sea become visible as well.

The origin of the name Mont Ventoux is said to stem from ‘windy mountain’ in French. They are not wrong because if you have bad luck, the wind will make the climb up pretty hard. The reward you will find on the top, however, is worth every drop of sweat.

You can start the climb from Bédoin, Malaucène or Sault. Although Mont Ventoux is a known resort amongst athletes, the top is accessible by car as well so everyone can reach the top.
