2011 Tour de France

Should be some great views from the air in 2011. The stage from Dinan to Lisieux travels through Avranches so maybe they will get a shot of Mont Saint Michel from the air. Touching a little into Italy in some of the high mountain stages. A link below in case anyone plans on being in any of those areas next July and want to watch some of it. On the other hand you may want to study the routes and make plans to avoid the crowds. It looks like a nice contrast with some routes along the coast and some mid-mountain and high mountain stages. I enjoy the race but the television coverage of many of the Chateaus and historical sites is pretty good and may be of interest to those who have traveled or plan on traveling in France. http://www.letour.fr/2011/TDF/COURSE/us/le_parcours.html

Thanks for posting the link, Lane. It looks like a great route this year! We got HDTV last year and watching the Tour was incredible.

Thanks for the update. I was just wondering the other day when the route would be announced.
