France 2011, Sep 21, Gorge de la Nesque

On the 20th I visited friends in the Luberon. They have a house in Goult. So on the 21st we decided to take it easy and look at the Gorge de la Nesque.

The ride starts by traveling up a long ridge on the south east side of Mont Ventoux. In the picture below you see the "Giant" on a clear day.

We stopped at a great out door restaurant at the the top of the gorge for a nice lunch. Best one we had seen in the small villages during the trip. Sorry for the lousy picture.

Then a view riding down the edge of the gorge itself. Note on the right edge of the picture, the southeast face of Mont Ventoux. Very nice an relaxing day
