All summer long, France Bleu Champagne-Ardenne sends its podcasts to explore the territory of Champagne in order to make it (re)discover to listeners and so that they can plan future tourist activities.
Today, the women’s Tour de France passes through our region, from Reims to Épernay. For the occasion, Sébastien Gitton is in the Boulingrin district, the starting point for today’s stage, in a studio fitted out for the occasion and located in the Halles du Boulingrin.
During the excitement preceding the departure of the runners for this 3rd stage, our podcast receives several guests. He will first be accompanied by Alain Collinet, vice president of Velo Oxygen.
