Don't forget the pastis ;)

I was on my way with the plan to recreate this photo i took in septmeber some years ago, just with flowering lavender this time:

When i got there, turns out at this spot the lavender field is no more, haha. Photos taken at Col de Soubeyrand.

There was a lavender field a bit higher up, but it was not flowering much yet, i guess too high up.

I am in La Motte Chalancon now, heading north, barkeeper tells me if i cycle past the next mountain, i will have left the Provence.

Lovely pics! Did you do the Ventoux on your bike? I hear it's a legend amongst cyclists

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, i actually rode it yesterday.

And hundreds of road cyclists too, busiest mountain i have ridden.

Bravo ! The reviews on Google maps are a hilarious read. As many angry angry cyclists as there are angry angry drivers 😂

Bon voyage !
