FOUGERES
It’s a tradition : every four
years, Fougères is a PBPcontrol.
Again in August
2015, all members of the
Union Cycliste Fougeraise,
along with many other volunteers,
will make every
effort to accomodate thousands
of cyclists from around
the world.
As always, stress rises over
the months, weeks and days,
as the event approaches. The
premises of the Lycée Jean
Guéhenno, including the
completely renovated gymnasium,
will still be used to meet
the expectations of the Audax
Club Parisien.
Fougères is a true cycling
land. The PBP is faithful to
us from the beginning. The
Amaury Sport Organisation
also trusted us to be a city
stage of the Tour de France
in 2013... and again in 2015.
Our city has many tourist attractions
(the wonderful castle,
the historic district, the
upper town and the national
forest), and we are sportsoriented.
In 2013, the newspaper
L’Equipe awarded us
a trophy for being the French
town (under 20,000 population)
whose sports facilities
were the best suited for the
disabled.
We will welcome you under
the banner of sport and
conviviality. We hope that you
and those with you will appreciate
the beauty of our city.
!
We can’t wait for August
2015. We are looking forward
to sharing with you this 18th
PBP that will cast its spell
on everybody thoughout the
1200 km long route. See you
at your 300th and 900th kilometer
for control, food, sleep
and encouragement
The U.C. Fougeraise and all the voluntaries
