I rode the roads around Sault on my last bike trip to Europe. It was my favorite part of the trip. While some climbed Ventoux, we did a climb that went up to the cherry orchards. Most of the people who did not do Vetoux elected to stay at the café, drinking coffee, or turned around after a shorter distance. When we got to the top, DH ate a couple of cherries off of a tree. The farmer came running out, screaming at him, in French. Thankfully, one of the leaders was with us and spoke to the man and calmed him down. It was a gorgeous climb and descent and I was not sorry I didn't attempt Ventoux.
