"The route for this 21st edition of Paris-Brest-Paris has been largely renewed, with new towns and points of interest, and even more beautiful roads and scenery. The route will be differentiated between the outward and return legs over most of the way, for greater safety and scenic diversity. In this way, Brittany will be covered by an integral loop to avoid crossing traffic flows. The route will pass close to Mont-Saint-Michel, offering a beautiful view of the bay, as well as Chartres, famous for its cathedral. In 16 stages and as many controls (not counting secret controls), you’ll make your way from Rambouillet to Brest and back." by Rolf de Staerke
