Go back…in time, pull up your socks and braces, head up the hill…
Imagine…moustaches in the wind, bursts of laughter over mischievously tilted berets, focused gazes under caps pulled tightly down, hands slipped into knitted cotton gloves, flowered dresses and hats from another era…
Share…unique moments alone, with a mate, your family, among friends and colleagues…
Enjoy…a stunning view of the Loire, breathtaking scenery, the silhouettes of majestic chateaus, a kingdom made to order for the bicycle…
Admire…the lightness of a Grand Bi, the elegance of an Hirondelle, the classiness of a Bianchi, the refined chrome of a Mercier…
Discover…the world of fans of vintage bikes, the latest vintage trends, the exclusiveness of a concours d’élégance…
Relive… the days of the “Convicts of the Road,” the adventures of Tour de France pioneers, the unrivalled atmosphere of a publicity caravan of yesteryear…
Savour…the unique atmosphere of an open-air café, the nobility of tiny bubbles at a jazzy Vintage Party…

I've signed up for this and plan to bring a suitably French bike for the two days of riding. It is a long way to go for me but worth it to ride part of the stage of the 1903 Tour de France.
