A Bientôt France

Back in Clermont Ferrand, preparations are slowly being made for the next voyage to the States. We climbed Puy de Dome, another of the classic Tour monts, with a summit of 1465m. Although it hasnt been part of the tour for a while, it was made famous in the 60s and 70s, particularly the famous picture of Anquetil and Poulidor in the 1964 Tour. Even though there was low cloud, the view of the plains and volcanic mountain chain are breathtaking.
