Tour De France 2011
As we get ready for the 2010 race, news arrives about the 2011 Tour De France, with the organising committee announcing that Le Grand Depart (Grand Start) will be in the Vendée. Holiday and tour information will follow.
It will be the fifth time the race has started in the Vendée and it usually signals a top name finishing first on the Champs Elysées.
Dig into the stats books and you’ll find the Vendée inspired Miguel Indurain and also Lance Armstrong, who signalled his return from cancer with a dramatic triumph during what was then a farewell tour.
