COUNTRYSIDE

Bicycle Rides at Terraventoux

We registered for one of the Electric Bicycle Rides at Terraventoux. Three hours in the countryside, stopping along the way in beautiful hilltop villages and sampling wines of the cooperative cellar brought to us (so we didn’t have to carry them ourselves!). At the end of the tour, we stopped on a terrace at Blauvac and were amazed by the panoramic view of the Ventoux mountain (essential stage during the Tour de France bicycle race). Thanks to the wine no doubt, we ended up thinking this little mountain wouldn’t be such a big deal on a bike after all!
15€ for the 3-hour ride including the wine and food tastings.
