L’ascension spirituelle de Pétrarque au Mont Ventoux, 700 ans avant l’alpinisme

Petrarch's Spiritual Ascent of Mont Ventoux, 700 Years Before Mountaineering

By Paul-Arthur Raynaud

Nearly 700 years ago, Petrarch wrote one of the most famous letters in literature: "The Ascent of Mount Ventoux". This text, often considered the first mountaineering account, blends adventure, introspection, and a spiritual quest. In this episode, we follow in the footsteps of this humanist poet, who climbed the 1910 meters of Mont Ventoux long before the mountain became a "playground".
