Default Le Tour

Hi

I don't know if anyone can help me, but I've just discovered that if our
holiday goes ahead as (currently) planned we'll be 20 miles from the start
of this year's Tour de France. So, 2 things occur to me:

1. If we leave when we were planning are we going to get stuck in awful
traffic.

2. If we delay the tunnel booking back could we get to see some racing.

However, when I looked at www.letour.fr its not possible to get the route or
times in any kind of detail. Since we were planning on coming home on 2nd
July only really the Fromentine, Noirmoutier-en-l'Ile stage would be
possible.

Does anyone have any more detailed information?

Many thanks

Rob

The detailed route and timing only come out about a month before the
event, but looking at last year's programme the Prologue had Caravanne at
14:00, first rider 16:00 and last rider finishing at 19:15.
