I still remember that I was on vacation myself France, Early 2000s. The Tour de France was around the corner. Back then, you didn’t have navigation systems yet. Or maybe I just didn’t have them. If you wanted to follow the peloton, you had to rely on information from the media. The best you could do was go to the local bar and ask if ‘Le Tour’ was still around. With a bit of luck, everyone wouldn’t be too drunk from the Picard and you would know more. The discovery trip was always part of the fun. The signs would always only stay up for a short time after a ride like that. They were either removed by the organization or taken as souvenirs. How could you ever cycle the same route again? Because that’s also part of the experience. At least, if you’re a cyclist and also a fan of the race.
