Following up on my previous thread, we have now completed the purchase
of our property in France, located close to Viam, within the
Millevaches National Park, in the department of Correze at an altitude
of 740 m.


Next year's Tour de France will pass very close on 6th July going from
Limoges to Le Lioran in the département of Cantal. I'll be by the side
of the road somewhere, possibly Pas de Peyrol, from a base at 350m
just north of Brive. It's a lovely area.

You're absolutely right Mike. I've been trying to find the exact route, without success so far, which is a bit annoying as the Auvergne have listed it once it crosses the border. I believe it enters the Auvergne around Mauriac, but also heard that it will pass through Eymoutiers after leaving Limoges.

If this is accurate, it will be very close to us. Still, better than last year when it was in Yorkshire and we were in France, telling all the local how we'd driven on the route a couple of days before on the way to Leeds/Bradford.
