Fitness Activities

Bike riding

Hire a bike, daily, weekly; try the cycle shops (one in town, one near the supermarket on the edge of town). Buy a bike route booklet (Parcours Cyclo Touristiques) from the main shop under the tourist office in Vaison la Romaine and head out on a self guided tour.

Walking

There is an excellent guide book; with distances, difficulty graded, available from the main shop under the tourist office in Vaison (Le Pays du Ventoux … a pied). Walking around Faucon itself and out into the fields and nearby villages is also most enjoyable.

Swimming

You don’t need to drive for hours to swim in the sea but by all means do that if you must. There is a large stream near Veaux – find Mollans-sur-Ouveze (D5), head for Pas du Ventoux (D40), and then for Veaux (D40a). Stop at the bridge before you get to Veaux - water is icy; swim, walk, picnic.
