Your Mont Ventoux Gravel Tour Adventure
Your Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1 - Warming up in the Shadow of the Giant
34km total distance
Your adventure kicks off with a transfer from Avignon to Sault, a charming village nestled at the foot of the mighty Mont Ventoux. After a relaxed Provençal lunch, it’s time to saddle up for your first taste of Ventoux gravel. This loop ride is all about stretching the legs, meeting your fellow riders, and easing into the rhythm of the week. Expect golden light, gentle trails, and that buzz of anticipation as the mountain looms in the distance. We’ll roll back to camp just in time for a cosy dinner and tales around the table.
Today's elevation is 700m.
Day 2 - Circling the Mythical Mont Ventoux
70km total distance
Today’s point-to-point ride takes us around the flanks of Mont Ventoux, digging deep into the region’s hidden gravel gems. You’ll weave through wild and rugged terrain, explore off-the-radar tracks, and let the peaceful rhythm of Provence set your pace. It’s a day to truly disconnect and immerse yourself in the natural beauty around you. We finish with a warm welcome at your next hotel and a well-earned dinner under the stars.
Day 3 - Lavender, Vineyards & the Dentelles de Montmirail
70km total distance
Today’s ride is a gravel lover’s dream. You’ll carve your way through oak forests, rolling vineyards, and postcard-perfect villages as you head deep into the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail. This is Provence at its most authentic – fragrant, sun-soaked, and gloriously remote. After an epic day in the saddle, it’s feet up and dinner with new friends, buzzing from the ride and dreaming of tomorrow’s trails.
Today's elevation is 1,400m.
Day 4 - Riding the Ridges & the Gorges de la Nesque
60km total distance
It’s our final big day on the bike, and it’s a stunner. We make our way back to Sault via a spectacular gravel route that includes the breathtaking Gorges de la Nesque. Expect twisting ridgelines, soaring views, and that unbeatable feeling of riding through a landscape few ever get to see. Back in Sault, it’s time to raise a glass, share stories, and soak up the last night together in this magical corner of France.
Today's elevation is 1,300m.
Day 5 - The Last Dance in the Baronnies Provençales
30km total distance
One last loop – and it’s a beauty. Short, sharp, and full of Provençal charm, this final ride through the Baronnies is a moment to reflect, laugh, and maybe race your mates to the final climb. We’ll finish with a celebratory lunch before you head off, taking home tired legs, a full heart, and a whole lot of unforgettable memories.
Today's elevation is 700m.

What our Cyclists Say
Awesome customer Service like it used to be. When planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
