Geography
Located at the base of Mont Ventoux, it is the starting point of one of the three routes to the summit of the mountain (the other routes start in Malaucène and Sault). The Tour de France frequently uses this approach to Mont Ventoux hence the strong presence of cycling in the town.
Sights
