What is France's Vaucluse, the Lubéron & Mont Ventoux about?

Head north and east of Avignon and the landscape of Provence changes dramatically. The fertile plains of western Vaucluse, known as the Comtat Venaissin, give way to rising, forested hills and mountains. It is here that the South of France begins to lift itself into the first intimations of the Pre-Alpes. Vineyards, olive groves and orchards spread across valley floors. Three wine growing areas contribute to the region's prosperity. Both the Côtes du Ventoux and the Côtes du Lubéron produce delicate young wines, while several world-class Côte de Rhône vineyards are located within Vaucluse. The valleys and plains are also known for cherries, apricots, figs and melons, including the small, rich Cavaillon melons grown around their namesake town. Wild boars prowl the oak and chestnut forests of the uplands where farmers gather prized black truffles. Vaucluse is considered the centre of Provence and provides some of the region's most iconic images – from the rows of blooming lavender to the isolated summit of Mont Ventoux, scourge of cyclists and famous “killer" climb of many a Tour de France. The villages here are rich in medieval and Roman history. Mont Ventoux, at more than 6,200 fee
