This stage juggles between lakes, each one more beautiful than the other, passing through charming villages to end in the small coastal town of Louisburgh. The closer you get to the coast, the more you feel the wind and the smell of the sea.

Between Monaghan and Sligo, we leapfrog from the imaginary boundaries between the green hills of Northern Ireland to a lake region, a fisherman's paradise, of Southern Ireland.

From Drogheda (Louth County) to the town of Monaghan. We skim the border of Northern Ireland, without crossing it. This second stage will show a nice postcard of Ireland between green pastures and majestic rivers.

With its breathtaking scenery, rolling hills and fickle weather, Ireland is a country open to cyclists looking for a memorable experience. Follow my 14-day itinerary in a loop from Dublin, on little-used country roads.

The Télégraphe and Galibier passes are frightening, just by saying their names. But the Maurienne valley is so beautiful that it is a cyclist's duty to climb it at least once in his life. This tour proposes to climb three of the most beautiful slopes in France, with the Croix-de-Fer pass on the way back.

To reach the Grand-Paradis through the Portes de Culet, quite a challenge! A positive difference in altitude of 1400m on 20km passing by some neglected roads. Fortunately, the beauty of the landscape surpasses everything.

Here is a nice challenge in a loop. From Rennaz, we climb the famous Col de la Croix, located above Les Plans-sur-Bex. The ascent is steep.

The Gantrisch region straddles the cantons of Bern and Fribourg and is a favorite of many cyclists and hikers. The first part is quite physical, until the summit of the Gürnigel. The next part is only fun.

The calanques of Piana are perhaps one of the most beautiful cycling routes in the world, both the view of the sea on one side and the rocks that stand like the fingers of a hand are majestic.

Shortest stage of the tour. 56km to reach the seaside resort of Porto and to swim there. Admire the view, passing the col of San Martino.

A superb stage along the coast between Sartène and Calcatoggio. No big difficulties except for the final part towards the col of Sarzoggio which climbs for about ten kilometers at 7% on average.

The stage between the col of Bavella and Sartène is not difficult, compared to the 2nd day. A nice road for the most part downhill and flat, through the forest and along the Ortolo river.
