October 5, 2012.
As often happens at this time, we are at Christophe's. Dental visits, reviewing a Fed 5... Between two Thierry decides to show me the Mont Ventoux.

Devant le Chalet Liotard

After a long drive in the Vaucluse (we even passed through Fontaine de Vaucluse). We finally joined Carpentras and took the north access road through Malaucène. First stop, ahead of the chalet Liotard, near the Mont Serein.

Souvenir photo with the summit of Mont Ventoux in the background.

The problem is that to see the Ventoux, you should not be on the top! So we had to go beyond it to take other pictures!
The ground is stony, there is wind (that's why it's called the Ventoux!). I am leaning against a pole to stand upright.

Le Sommet derrière moi

A small postcard, between two crossings of cyclists and motorcyclists. There's a lot of people here, it's crazy! but Thierry seems to prefer empty landscapes. Or with me!

Vue du mont Ventoux

Another, from a little further.

Vue du mont Ventoux

And a last one, before starting the way back. South side, it led us to Apt, then Cavaillon and back to Mollégès. What a long way!
