Just looked at the site via Google and there is a stage through the area when we are there in July [8-|] Looks like the nearest it will get to Huelgoat is GOUAREC near Rostrenen on Sunday the 9th July we arrive on Sat the 8th [8-|] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_2 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 It started at Roscoff one year(must have been about six or seven years ago) and then out to Landivisiau before turning into the Monts d'Arrée and down through Carhaix etc on route to Lorient where they finished. We watched it on the TV and they moved so fast you hardly saw a thing of the landscape or the riders except the start and finish and any stoppages.
