The canal winds through the Comtat Venaissin plain, and irrigates the many crops which play a part in the beautiful landscapes. Part of this route goes along the banks of the canal, a moment of calm and greenery, with stunning backdrops of Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail mountain range. Circuit created by the 'Communauté d'agglomération Ventoux Comtat Venaissin' www.destination-ventoux.com
