About this spot
A high pull-off near the bald limestone summit of Mont Ventoux, the legendary Tour de France climb. Tolerated for a discreet night when the road is open, this is a windswept, otherworldly perch with lavender plains far below and a sea of cloud at dawn. Bring layers — it is fierce up here even in July.

Reviews
“Cyclists all summited and left; we had the Giant to ourselves at sunset. Wind is no joke.”
“Surreal moonscape. Freezing and blowing a gale but a night we'll never forget.”
