Don Madge
Deceased RIP
For those travelling to France in July don't forget the Tour de France is on from 2 July until 24 July.
For those who have not been caught-up in the Tour before, the Gendarmes close a rolling section of the road some 4 hrs before the riders come through, so a long wait if you need to get somewhere.
For those who have seen it - whether planned or not - it is quite a sight, and everything, I mean everything takes a back seat where the Tour comes through.
Take a look at this link for full course details.
