SPORTING EVENTS IN CENTRAL FRANCE - TOUR DE FRANCE

The Tour de France 2008, Indre (dept 36)

 

The organisers of the world famous Tour de France 2008 revealed recently that the course would once again be passing through the Indre, but this time it will be making a stop - the first time for the Boischaut Sud.

The 5th Stage will arrive at Châteauroux on July 9th 2008 setting off the next day for Aigurande.

Five months after the Paris to Nice tour which also passed through the Indre, Christian Prud'homme (chairman of the Tour de France) returned in August to Châteauroux to monitor the  "Coupe de France", the spectator numbers, road quality and with great interest the arrival of the cyclists in the Avenue de la Châtre in Châteauroux. It is no coincidence that this is the same avenue for the arrival of the fifth stage of the Tour de France.

During the evening the competitors will be transferred to Aigurande to head off in the direction of Super-Besse in the Puy de Dome.

This is the first time that the Tour de France will make a stop-over in the Boischaut Sud (south Indre).
