Mont Ventoux
16 The defining feature of northern Provence, Mont Ventoux ( Click here ) stands like a
sentinel over the region's undulating landscape. Its reputation is mythical among cyclists,
but everyone feels the pull of the géant de Provence (Provence's giant), be it for hiking,
wildlife watching (the mountain's biodiversity is second to none), scenic drives or panora-
mas. On clear days, you can see from Camargue to the Alps. From November to April, the
summit is snowed under.
