Col de la Madeleine
A gentle roller between Bedoin and Malaucene that never gets steep. The road is narrow, quiet, and mostly through forest with barely any traffic. It's more of a connecting road than a proper climb, but it's pleasant riding and useful for linking the two towns without going over the top of Ventoux.
Works well as part of a Ventoux loop or as an easy opener to shake out the legs.
