This years Tour started yesterday in London and moves on to the continent today.
It finishes in Paris on Sunday 29th July.
If you are touring France in July check the tour route or you could be in for some long waits.
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.
