The Notre Dame is under repair for the next few years due to the fire that engulfed its spire in April 2019.

France

France is a country where culture, cuisine, and cycling intertwine beautifully. I first experienced it in 2003 when I biked Paris-Brest-Paris, an endurance event that pre-dated the Tour de France. That journey gave me a taste of France’s deep cycling heritage alongside its timeless pleasures of food and conviviality.
