The tourist service at Savoillans :
This is the starting point of the Vaucluse long distance mountain bike trail. In the car park you will find a sign with a map of the general route and practical information.
This introduction will take you straight to the heart of the matter: after a difficult climb on a steep path, and a few small jumps, you will be rewarded with a superb stretch on the ridge of the Rocher du Charles and breathtaking views of Mont Ventoux and its steep and secretive North face. After the picturesque village of Brantes, you will climb the Col de Fontaube (alt. 635m) and pass by some century old oaks. A technical descent on loose gravel which is typical of the region will bring you to Saint Léger du Ventoux and the Toulourenc valley.
