Monday, July 20^th, 2009 : Montélimar / Mont Ventoux

Come-back to the Mont Ventoux !

9 years after the dramatic experience of the 8^th edition, the Etape du Tour Mondovélo is coming back on the "Géant de Provence" .
In July 2000, the second part of the race was stopped by the organisers because of the weather on the summit (1° C and hail storm)

On the 20^th of July, you will start from Montélimar (Drôme) to the Mont Ventoux summit, after 172 km and 4 climbing (côte de Citelle, col d'Ey, col de Fontaube, col de Notre-Dame des Abeilles).

The race will be on the Monday 20^th of July.
The host village will take place in the Montélimar centre on the 18^th and 19^th of July.
The finish village will take place in the Mont Serein.

Montélimar, en Drôme Provençale.

Montélimar, the capital of nougat whose reputation has spread far beyond its boundaries, opens for your benefit the gates of Provence.
At the gates of this very human town, immediately the first lavender fields give off a scent of summer; close your eyes and hear the cicadas singing, you are in Montélimar country...

Can you put the Vaucluse on the map ?

Just where is it ? In Provence ! The Avignon Festival and the Palais des Papes ? The Luberon ? Mont- Ventoux ? All in Vaucluse ! Tourism in Vaucluse means living the Provence lifestyle to the hilt - theatre, music, art, festivities, olive oil, melon, truffles, lavender and other local fragrances and tastes express the Vaucluse terroir.
