Comment from Philippa Burne
The Tour de France might be the most famous cycling race through France, but it’s not the only one. The professional cycling year begins with the Paris-Nice race, also known as ‘the race to the sun’, which has been going since 1933. It’s a grueling 720 miles (1156 km) over eight stages, which takes place in March.
