Tips from the Community
A dream circuit. Starting from Ville-sur-Auzon, 20 km of superb gorges, a little-used road and a moderate slope. The pleasure can be extended by continuing to Sault and taking on the least difficult climb of Mont Ventoux. Pure happiness...

Sweet fountain and nice cafe. A nice break opportunity when you have cycled up the Nesque gorge.

Beautiful, but you should approach the descent with caution, especially on the way down. Due to the road's position in the ravine, it usually curves to the right, so you only see oncoming traffic in the tunnel – or extremely limited cyclists who stop right there to look – and since it's so narrow, it can quickly become the same. After the first full-throttle descent, I learned to prefer cruising. At least in the tunnels, which become fewer and fewer towards the end.

It's so beautiful here that I get tears in my eyes every time. It's best to drive uphill, then you have more time to look around. On the other hand, the descent to Venasque is so long and beautiful, you rarely find it. Gentle curves, a great surface, and a consistently moderate gradient. I look forward to this section every time...
