The Tour de France passing near our gite in July 2013



It is not a rumour anymore; it has been confirmed in our local papers!

Once again in 2013, the Tour de France is passing through Calorguen, a small village in Brittany only a couple of minutes away from our gite in Evran. The reason being Calorguen is the home town of Bernard Hinault.

It will be on Tuesday 9th July 2013 for the stage 10 on the way to Saint Malo.

The village of Calorguen usually organises a big party and an interesting exhibition about cycling and of course Bernard Hinault.

If you are looking for an accommodation, be quick as gites in Brittany and mainly around Dinan are getting booked up very quickly!
