Mont Ventoux is the most famous mountain in cycling. A regular Tour de France highlight. A magnet for cyclists the world over. VELOVENTOUX is based in Ventoux's shadow, in the beautiful village of Faucon, and run by British cycling aficionado Craig Entwistle and his wife Vicky. We have thousands of kilometres of fantastic bike routes right on our doorstep. We provide not just bed and breakfast, but all the advice and support you need to get the most out of your stay. We cater for all abilities, from pottering around through the vineyards to cyclosportives and full on training camps, or taking on Ventoux and the Alpe d'Huez - and everything in between - in a single day. At VELOVENTOUX, we love cycling, we love the Ventoux, we love this region that has the best that France has to offer. And we love the fact that so many of our visitors keep coming back for more.

Had a wonderful three night stay here. The cycling is amazing and there is a wide range of routes, from Mont Ventoux to flatter rides through the vineyards. The area is beautiful and very peaceful. Craig and Vicky were great hosts and made sure I was comfortable and well-fed throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights while I did 6x Ventoux in a day. Craig and Vicky looked after us brilliantly. Nothing was too much trouble. The support and advice on local cycling was incredible and the place is absolutely beautiful. The local village has is gorgeous and has a great atmosphere too.

Jack & I have just stayed with Craig & Vicky at their new base in Puymeras. We had a great time. They are super welcoming and have thought of everything that cyclists could need for a fun, challenging time in the saddle. The accommodation was very comfortable and well stocked. The charming village has a lively bar which also serves great food. Craig & Andy took us out on beautiful rides straight from the house. We also rode Mt Ventoux with van support from Craig which meant that a mechanical that could have scuppered the whole attempt if not worse was quickly & expertly fixed by Craig by the roadside. We can't speak highly enough of the whole experience and can't wait to come back. Thanks so much guys!!

A friend and I stayed at VeloVentoux for 5 nights at their new place in Puymeras, I can't say enough positive things about VeloVentoux, from arriving there late and Vicki having the perfect meal waiting for us in a beautiful location. The accommodation is perfect for cyclists and has everything you could need, including a beer stocked fridge. The bar and restaurant in the village were superb as was the pizza van. Guided rides with Craig and Andy were fantastic, taking us off the beaten track through routes we would never have found on our own, Vicky and Craig were great hosts and couldn't do enough, Will definitely be back. Oh and we did the Cingles challenge :-)

Just left Veloventoux after a simply amazing cycling holiday. Was based there as a solo cyclist for three days. Craig& Vicki left me feeling like royalty with the way they took me into their B&B and looked after my every cycling need and more over the trip. Cannot praise them enough - even did a fully van supported ride on the Ventoux for me even though i was the only cyclist attempting it that day. Amazing! Guided rides are amazing - ride host was full of tips and local knowledge. Gets a massive highly recommended from me.

On one of the last sunny weekends of September my son and I flew out to Provence to ride up Mt Ventoux. We were picked up from Marseilles airport by by Craig who drove us back through Malaucene where we picked up our hire bikes - a pair of Wilier road bikes and then took us back to Veloventoux HQ in Faucon. Craig took us out that afternoon for an excellent warm up ride through the beautiful Provencal countryside and his wife Vicky made us all a very tasty supper. On Saturday Craig guided us to Bedoin where he left us to tackle the mountain. We were blessed with brilliant weather, no wind and had a very successful round trip of around 50 miles, including Ventoux. Faucon has some great places to eat out and we recommend the Dandelion and Le Laurier. Craig and Vicky have an ideal setup and a perfect base for a cycling holiday in Provence and we have no hesitation in recommending Veloventoux to anyone who loves cycling. Thanks to Andy, Craig and Vicky. We will be back!…

Just returned from successfully completing the Ventoux Cingle Challenge with a friend and it was made possible with great support and facilities provided by Craig, Vicky and Andy. We found Veloventoux very accommodating and the relaxed and flexible approach was what we needed. The support on the day of the challenge by Andy was superb and Andy can even add 'Tour Photographer' to his list of skills. The accommodation was great and the use of the garage for bike building and storage was ideal. All in all, we would highly recommend Veloventoux to anybody wishing to cycle in the Provence/Ventoux region.

Just back from a fantastic week with Veloventoux. First visit to Provence and it was not disappointing, scenery is brilliant especially with Mt. Ventoux dominating it. Hosts Craig and Vicky are a great couple and both Craig and Andy are very knowledgable of the many routes to cycle in the area. I highly recommend Veloventoux if you want a cycling trip to remember. You won’t be disappointed!
