Tour de France: A cycling race and an annual celebration

We tell you some of the specifics of the “Grande Boucle”, like the different jerseys to look out for. Part of the reason the race is so popular is because the whole atmosphere is electric. But the Tour de France is so much more than just a cycling competition – it’s also a celebration of France.
