Tour de France 2021 with a double ascent of Mont-Ventoux !

Unseen before : the 11th stage on the 7th of July with a double ascent of Mont Ventoux !

For the first time, the cyclists will have to face a double climb of the Ventoux on the 11th stage. "The stage of Vaucluse will be a very special stage, it will start with lavender fields until it climbs up to the giant of Provence, the formidable Ventoux, underlines Christian Prudhomme Tour de France director. A first time via Sault, one of the three routes that lead to the summit, the least rough, then we'll go down again to Malaucène, then Bédoin for the mythical and difficult climb".

Please note the following traffic and parking arrangements to attend the show in the best conditions.

To get to the summit of Mont Ventoux from Tuesday 6 July 2021, closure to motorised traffic :
