On Sunday, August 2, 2026, during the gathering of cycle tourists at the Fédération’s week-long event in Château-Gontier, in Mayenne, the Fédération Française de Cyclotourisme (FFVélo), represented by its president, Lydie Chénot, and the Audax Club Parisien, represented by its president, Luc Coppin, jointly signed an agreement setting forth the reciprocal administrative terms for holding the 2027 Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur event, which includes the club’s assistance in organizing the Paris-Brest-Paris Youth event.

The two signatories took their seats in front of a Paris-Brest-Paris “museum” booth set up by our friend Jean-Philippe Letourneur, co-president of Audax Lavallois. It was also an opportunity to meet and chat with many PBP enthusiasts, including several future support station coordinators and representatives from CODEP 53, who came to present their department’s activities, including the Paris-Brest-Paris route.
Our heartfelt thanks go to Alain Sabin, co-president of COSFIC 2026 and head of the federal village, who made all these special moments possible.
