In the town of Bedoin, there’s a buzz in the air. Lots of holidaymakers have flocked to the area to sample the best of Provence, be it the local Beaumes-de-Venise Muscat wine, the Festival in Avignon, or hiking in the nearby mountains.
Of course, the main draw here is the cycling, with the 1,910m-high Mont Ventoux dominating the patchwork of mountains, gorges, and towns such as Carpentras, Malaucène, and Sault.
