Come and join us at our base in Provence for a chance to take on Mont Ventoux and explore the cultural and gastronomical highlights that make the Vaucluse area so special.

Join the Cingles club or simply ride one, two or all 3 sides of Ventoux aka the 'Giant of Provence'!

We are delighted to have this event on the roster, as it allows us to host guests in our backyard. The Ride and Seek European base has been based here for eight years. We very much look forward to showing you the road less travelled in an area that has long become a mecca for cycling. Please note that unlike other tours we run, this is a ride-only package and does not include accommodation. Details can be found on the Dates & Prices tab.

This event is run in conjunction with the Mont Ventoux Cycling Club, which acts as our logistics hub and seeks to embrace all things related to Mont Ventoux and its surroundings. The Club House is now based in Bedoin in partnership with the wonderful folks of Pista Cafe. The hub for this tour will be Pista Cafe, which we consider the best spot in Bedoin for pre and post-ride refreshments.

Over the course of 3 days, you can tick off one of the great cycling experiences whilst also enjoying a wonderful immersion into life in Provence.

As part of the ride program, we propose our favourite soul ride up the Gorges de la Nesque on Friday. Saturday is your opportunity to take on Ventoux from one, two or all three sides of the mountain. On Sunday, we propose a ‘recovery’ ride that will give us a chance to explore the road less travelled through in the Dentelles de Montmirail. The Ride Data offers more insight into the riding metrics of these three rides. Our guides will coordinate the rides, but you’ll also have the flexibility to ride at the pace that suits you.
