Unlike The Other Mountains (cols) In France, Why Isn’t Mont Vonteux Known/called A “col”?

All the other mountains are called “Col …..” , so why isn’t Mont Vonteux?
Looking for a ski-in/out chalet or Mont Tremblant Condo with Hot tubs and Pools? Try the the luxury Panache Mont Tremblant or Tremblant resort condos like the convenient Equinox Mont Tremblant or featuring the Bondurant Mont Tremblant or ski-in/out at the Altitude Mont Tremblant

Actually, a “col” is a mountain pass, not the mountain itself:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_pa…
Here’s the description of one of the Stage 17 cols:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col_des_Sai…
On the Mont Ventoux, they actually hit the top of the peak, not a pass below the summit.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Ventou…
However, it does seem that people use them interchangeably. I am confused by it as well.

For the same reason that other mountains are not called cols, Mont Ventoux is a mountain top, not a mountain pass.
