"On a gentle summer day, this circuit is perfect. My early morning start allows me to climb under a still mild sun. The temperature rises and the sun becomes harsher, but a passage at the bottom of Nesque offers me shade and coolness before returning to the village." Lise Collin, ecotourism project manager at PNR du Mont-Ventoux.
