| Description | |||||
| Every keen
cyclist can name several legendary cols of the Tour de France. You know
the famous climbs in the Alps, the Pyrenees and the Mont Ventoux, the
giant of the Provence. Perhaps you have already done them. But sometimes
when you watch the Tour on television, you think : "Where is that col?".
"I don't know that climb". France has much more to offer, than only the "big" well-known names. A large part of the country is rolling, hilly or mountainous. Cols and côtes everywhere. A Dutch foundation started in 1979 an initiative to link a large number of climbs in France together and called it : "The 100 Cols Tour". The route has undergone several changes over the years to make the tour more attractive and more challenging. The foundation uses two captions in their description of the tour "it's the toughest bicycle tour in the world" and "it's also the most beautiful bicycle tour in the world". The route is a succession of wonderful landscapes, quiet nature parks, little picturesque villages, stunning views, and of course countless little côtes and challenging cols. |
