The rivers have also cut deeply into the limestone to form gorges, none more famous than the breathtaking Verdon Gorge in Haute Provence. W P THE VERDON GORGE Although nothing in Europe can match Arizona's Grand Canyon, the Verdon Gorges are nonetheless spectacular. Over countless years, the Verdon River, a tributary of the Durance, has cut a deep, clean gorge into the limestone plateau, with narrow cliffs plunging 2300ft (700m) amid wild scenery. The Verdon derives its name from its jade green waters which add to the beauty. Climate P rovence obeys the rhythms of the Mediterranean climate, with seasons that change in abrupt succession. Sudden autumn rains end the panting heat of summer. Winters, particularly along the sheltered parts of the coast, tend to be mild. The year's most sustained rainfall occurs in spring, when the plant life explodes into growth, and the scent of resins and herbs fills the air. S ummer can be brutally hot in Provence. This is because, to put it in rather dramatic terms, this area is the most northerly perimeter of the Sahara Desert. Without the Mediterranean, that almost tideless and strongly salted inland sea, Provence would be literally Saharan. As hot air expands northward from the Sahara, crossing the sea, it reduces from its norm of six months without rain in Algeria to three months in Provence. This tropical air can collide with more frigid air coming from the Alps, resulting in occasional, but violent, downpours of summer. Sometimes, Africa's

Nevertheless, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier parliamentary democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of the euro in January 2002. At present, France is at the forefront of European states seeking to exploit the momentum of monetary union to advance the creation of a more unified and capable European defense and security apparatus.

It borders six other countries - from the north-east to the south-east, it borders Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. The south of France borders with Spain. France has over 3200km of coastline, with rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. In the north, the Channel Tunnel runs under the English Channel, connecting France with the UK. To the west is the Bay of Biscay, and the south coast of France is on the Mediterranean Sea. Major rivers include the Seine, the Loire, the Garonne, and the Rhône. The highest mountain ranges in France are the Alps which run along two-thirds of the eastern border down to the Mediterranean, and the Pyrénées in the south, on the border with Spain. The highest peak in France is Mont Blanc in the Alps, on the Italian border. It is 4807 metres high. Because France is so big the weather varies enormously from one part of the country to another. In Brittany, on the north-west coast, it is often quite mild, with moist winds from the Atlantic Ocean bringing plenty of rain. The north-east has hot summers and cold winters. In the mountainous regions there is lots of snow in the winter, and this can stay on the tops of the mountains all year long. The south has a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers. In the spring a very strong, cold wind known as

Tour de France Official Home Page A Brief History and Geography of the Tour de France by Rick Price, owner and founder of ExperiencePlus! We've posted a spreadsheet on our web site that will allow the statisticians among you to study and analyze a hundred years of the history and geography of Le Tour de France (Click here to download the Excel spreadsheet itself.) This brief narrative will highlight a few interesting characteristics about the history of this extraordinary event. You can view summaries of those statistics in graph form here for the years 1903 to 2003 or '04: Average Speed Average Stage Length Number of Stages Total Tour Distance ... Total Number of Racers The historic photos of the Tour de France on our web site are used with permission from Buonpane Publications Henri Desgranges , world champion cyclist who held the hour track record, established in 1893 (35.325 km). In response to the success of the competing newspaper, Desgranges was driven to create a long distance "stage" race around France. The goal was explicit: to sell newspapers. That it did! Have a look at the page of statistics and you'll see just how aggressive this race was. The first Tour de France in 1903 had only six stages but they averaged 405 km in length! That's just over 250 miles each. Because the goal was to sell papers and because of the Herculean effort the race required, the six stages were stretched out over three weeks. This gave the newspaper time to cover the race in detail and it gave the racers two or three days of rest between stages. To maximize public exposure the departure of that first race from Paris was scheduled at 3:15 in the afternoon. That meant, though, that most of the 400 plus kilometers from Paris to Lyon were raced at night! The winners arrived in Lyon at about 9:15 a.m. the next morning.
