Bonsieur. I'm Annie Sergeant and join us in France is the podcast where we talk about France.

Everyday life in France, great places to visit in France, French culture, history, gastronomy, and news related to travel to France.

Today I bring a conversation with the wonderful Tammy McKibbon about following the tour of France,

and not just from her couch but she was doing it in France.

Mountain stages are really fun to watch, so are the departures and arrival points every day. The tour published their official route for

2023, it was two or three weeks ago, and that gives you the fans plenty of time to decide where you're going to go, what stages you're going to see and get the most out of your time in France following the tour.

If you go to the tour

you can see the details of their route for this year you can download it on

PDF the question is how do you choose like how do you organize this sort of trip?

Well Tammy will tell us all about that and in her case her husband shipped his own bike from the US

because he wanted to do some riding. That complicated things a little bit, but it's good to hear how these things go just in case that's something you're considering doing.

So let's talk about watching the Tour de France in France and all the quirky things that you need

to know to organize a trip like that.
