Thursday, April 25, 2024
On April 25, 2024, the Pays d'Iroise will play host to the 1st stage of the Tour de Bretagne, a veritable celebration of Breton cycling that has gained international renown since 1967. Departing from Locmaria-Plouzané, the 25 teams will cover 146 kilometers to the Pointe Saint-Mathieu, before leaving Milizac-Guipronvel the following day to set off across the other départements to Dinan, the finishing town at the end of a 7-day race. 

Come and cheer on the riders! The start on April 25 will be at 1pm, on route de Pen ar Menez, in Locmaria-Plouzané. From 9:30 a.m., a start village will welcome spectators with stands and entertainment. Throughout the stage, which will take riders through our 19 communes including Saint Renan, classified as one of France's Most Beautiful Detours, Portsall, the Landunvez coastal road, Le Conquet and the Pointe de Corsen, the race will be broadcast on a giant screen at the Pointe Saint-Mathieu. The finish, scheduled for around 4:30 p.m., will be preceded by 6 crossings of the finish line by the racers, the highlight of the show. The top of the Saint-Mathieu lighthouse will be a superb vantage point from which to admire the race!
