The "Tour de France" will come to our local town of Redon just 10 miles away from our gites in 2011. Although rich in cycling heritage, this will be the first time the town has hosted the event. On Monday 4th July, Redon will proudly stage the finish started from Olonne-sur-Mer. As a fairly flat stage it looks to be an exciting finish. Christian Prudhomme, the General Director of the Tour de France has said "We will leave Vendée for Brittany, passing through Loire-Atlantique on the way, before reaching the region of Redon for the first time. This is a stage that has no major difficulties and will definitely be won by sprinters as the final stretch, which is completely flat, should allow us to watch a suspenseful, and in all probability, massive sprint finish."
It is sure to be a great day...don't miss it!
