VIVE LA FRANCE! If you like fireworks there’s no better time of year than this, with all major towns and some villages putting on a real show for Bastille Day, France’s national day, on 14 July. It’s the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris in 1789, which was a major turning point in the French Revolution. However, it is also the Fête de la Fédération celebrating the unity of the French people on the same day a year later. Vive la France indeed. Let the festivities begin!

The Local Buzz • July & August 2019
It’s the 100th anniversary of the Tours’ Yellow Jersey this year and a unique version has been designed for the winner of each stage. Striving to break records since 1903, this test of endurance and skill sets off from Brussels on 6 July. Following a day of rest, Stage 11 will see the peloton picking up the pace on a flat circuit of 167 km from Albi to Toulouse on 17 July. The next day, Stage 12 is arduous to say the least, with a 202 km mountain ride from Toulouse to Bagnères-de-Bigorre. Who will have the speed and the strength to triumph? Why not saddle up and cheer them on! For details of the route and times, visit www.letour.fr
