Renting an e-bike from Vaison-la-Romaine unlocks the legendary roads of Mont Ventoux, the cliff-walled Nesque Gorges and Provençal hilltop villages. This full-day rental balances big climbs with freedom to explore at your own pace.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Vaison-la-Romaine as morning light washes the limestone facades and the Mont Ventoux rises like a weathered guardian ahead. The road unfurls — sunlit vineyards give way to pine-scrub slopes, and the Ventoux’s bare chalky cap appears, daring riders to test their legs and batteries. An electric bike takes the edge off the climbs, letting you linger at hairpin turns and gorges that insist you stop and look.

Conservation
