The sheer size and organisation of the Tour rivals sporting events such as the Olympics or the Football World Cup. The Tour de France in 2005 starts on 2nd July in Fromentine and over the course of the next 22 days it winds its way across France over all manner of terrain to its grand finale in on the Champs-Eleyese. During the Tour de France the race moves from town to town across France and a staggering amount of support staff, vehicles, media and spectators follow the Tour. During the Tour 15 million spectators will watch the race - yes 15 million will watch the race live and an incredible 2 billion people will watch on TV. 4,500 support staff follow the Tour de France in 1500 vehicles. As you can imagine it can be extremely difficult to find accommodation every night whilst following the tour. A really good way to follow the Tour de France is to rent a motorhome and move from stage to stage. Hiring a motorhome for the Tour de France allows you freedom to see as much of the race as you want. Each evening you find your own pitch, park up, cook your own meal and sleep in your own bed. In France you can rent a motorhome from Brest, Digne, Marseille, Nice, Paris as well as Toulouse. The Tour de France will pass through Tours, Chambord, Troyes and Nancy. The Tour will then pass into Germany (where you can rent a motorhome from Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich) and go on through Grenoble, Courchevel, Digne, Montpellier, Pau and Saint-Etienne before reaching Paris. So whether you want to follow the whole tour or just watch parts of it then renting a motorhome is an ideal way to watch the tour and enjoy the delightful French countryside. |
