More Tour de France

On Saturday Susan wrote about the Tour de France.

Yesterday the route for the 2024 race was announced. Once again it's not coming through Preuilly sur Claise - the last time it did that was in 2008. Any year now...

Next year the closest it's coming to us is on 9 July. Stage 10 is from Orléans to St Armand Montrond, and it looks like the route is via Romorantin and Bourges. We'll decide closer to the date where we'll be.

In the meantime, some screen shots from the TV coverage of this year's race and a Street View shot, focusing on the "lacets" between Lourdes and Cauterets.

This is the driver's eye view as you approach the lacets.

Riding up the main street of Cauterets. The Boulangerie on the right of shot is where we usually buy our breakfast
