The Lieutaud group conquers Mont Ventoux

The French group has acquired two new minibuses: one for tourism and the other for school routes.

When Gallic schoolchildren go over the most important mountains in the Alps during their geography lessons, there is always one that stands out for its size: 1,909 metres, as well as for the afternoons of glory it has brought to one of the most important sporting events in history: the Tour de France. It is Mont Ventoux, where cycling greats such as the legendary Pantani, Merckx and, more recently, Froome have sealed their greatness.

The summit, as well as being an important point in the next geography exam, is a tourist attraction for hundreds of visitors who are left stunned after their ascent. Getting to the top requires good training to enable cyclists to climb the roads with an average gradient of 7.7%. However, there is another alternative for those who are not so sporty: to go up by minibus. This second possibility is the one offered by Autocars Lieutaud, dedicated to tourism and focused on excursions in the Provence area. Both tourists arriving on river cruises and those who come to admire the City of the Popes.

Climbing Mont Ventoux in a minibus is less demanding physically, but it requires a good vehicle that climbs and is also comfortable for passengers. Autocars Lieutaud has placed its trust in Integralia to renew its fleet. The company has acquired a 19-seater T-One XL, customised down to the last detail so that the complicated slopes of the giant of Provence translate into a relaxing journey with spectacular views. 

Autocars Lieutaud is part of the Lieutaud Group, which took advantage of the acquisition to order another minibus from Integralia for Cars Lieutaud, a group company that combines tourist and school services.

Cars Lieutaud chose a T-One Escolar, with 22 seats and a spacious and comfortable interior, so that the young students can go over their Geography exams one last time while travelling in the bus. And perhaps learn the latest facts about Mont Ventoux, which they are sure to be asked about. 

The Lieutaud Group trusts Integralia as a minibus supplier because it knows the unbeatable quality of the vehicles manufactured in Pamplona. And you have to look for the best if you want to conquer the Mont Ventoux, either from the classroom or from the minibus.
