Located
on the very edge of the "département" next to the Drôme
is Les Omergues, a very small unpretentious farming village. It has two
streets lined with simple houses with dash finish, plus some chicken runs
and vegetable gardens and occasionally a terrace with Virginia creeper.
If
you look hard you will find one or two beautiful Provencal farmhouses
and an old picturesque stonework barn. Les Omergues nestles in the shade
of large lime trees, chestnut and cypress trees and weeping willows.
It
is cooled by the Jabron, which here is quite small, and the view of Mont
Ventoux is breathtaking. This village's heritage is nature itself.
It is a perfect site for cycling, bicycle touring
or mountain biking, and moreover it is located on the Provence Cycling
Championship circuit. Les Omergues is the ideal site for cycling enthusiasts,
who will really be in their element here ! |
