If ever you find yourself in France during the month of July, you will find it hard to ignore the carnival that is the Tour de France. The 2009 race kicks off on Saturday, 4th July at Port Hercule in the independent monarchy of Monaco. It will be the 17th time since 1954 (Amsterdam) that the cycle race has started outside the borders of “l’Hexagone” (France). The Tour ends on Sunday, 26th July in Paris.
