Cycling fanatic Karl Vannieuwkerke and Francophile Bart Van Loo pass through France in four stages. In a beautiful 1972 Citroën DS, they take a trip to unforgettable places in Tour history and enjoy all the good things France has to offer. They relive the greatest moments in Tour history, but enjoy la douce France just as much. The Tour put the beautiful French countryside on the map, catapulted France into the world's most popular holiday destination and inspired the French to create even more gastronomic delights than they already had in store. From the first Tour in 1903, the cycling race turned out not to be a race for the riders alone, but especially for the fans. While Karl takes Bart into his wonderful cycling world, Bart exposes the French soul in all its facets. Bart is in love with all that is French: he is a connoisseur of French love, he loves to sing French chansons and knows the secrets of French cuisine.
