Hurrah - 2011 Tour de France to start in Vendée
Yay, great news for us residents of Cognac that simply love seeing a stage of Le Tour live.
The 2011 tour kicks off on the 2nd July in the Vendée which is only a two hour drive away.
You can see details of the opening stages on the official site here.
If you have never been then I heartily recommend it as a day out. It's not just for cycling enthusiasts and the "caravan" that precedes the race is a real sight to behold.
For those gamblers amongst my readership I see you can currently get 5/2 on Andy Schleck being the outright winner....a wee flutter and you may even be able to book into the beautiful Chateau de L'Yeuse in Cognac to round off your day.
