Tour de France July 2023

Good luck finding a place to stay

Great info @Zordmot, what a wonderful bonus experience for those who get their timing right...or wrong... depending on your perspective!

The Giro d'Italia crossed my path multiple times in Switzerland & Italy while on the VF in 2019. Once, I saw the riders (& accompanying cavalcade) on a mountainside in the distance & other times, the peloton had passed through before I arrived. I did however, score a 'goody bag' from a sponsor car which had cheeses, relish, bread roll & crackers..perfect for a walker!
I had a rest day in a town which coincided with a stage passing; unfortunately I didn't get myself into gear (haha ) in time to watch. It is still a minor regret.

IMHO well worth a detour if you can, even if just to see the spectacle/theatre/circus ...it is one of the great sporting events in the world.

Don't forget the ladies; here is the route of
La Tour de France femmes 2023. It starts in Clermont-Ferrand and ends in Pau. Vivez la différence!
