... Pretty views of a historical village located in the Provence... nestled at the foot of the northern face of the Mont Ventoux... with medieval architecture, a courtyard under the shade of plane trees, plenty of shops, the source of the River Groseau and a number of listed monuments... it has one of the oldest markets in Provence with fresh local procucts such as the famous Malaucenne cherries... the village today lives on agriculture, vineyards, crafts and tourism... but most visitors here are "driven" cyclists, climbers and hikes come to confront the Mont Ventoux... cycling the Mont Ventoux from Malaucene is not as famous as the Bedoin route but absolutely stunning... Héééél Erg bedankt Ben!ʘ͜͡ʘ... He climbed also the three sides of the famous Mont Ventoux!🚴♂️💪🚴♂️
