3 days in Italy just a few weeks after the Giro seems odd too
Well, the better Tour de France starts in Rotterdam and heads south to Alpe d'Huez.****ing hell, nowt north. I had a feeling it would stay south given the Italian start and Nice finish, so no chance of a day trip.

Yebbut, nobbut.....stage 9 is a loop in and out of Troyes on a sunday. If your day trip is not by bike, you could make a great long weekend of it. There is some lovely scenery, a few hills and Troyes is a fun town. Historically, it was the centre of champagne. Altho no longer, there is a hilly outcrop outside town which produces some superb fizzy wine. I could easily be tempted.
You‘re in my head!
I am very excited about this. I may or may not have spent the afternoon planning a family tour from Marseilles to Strasbourg via Ventoux and seeing the TdFF near Annecy!
Annecy is gorgeous, we stayed there last year. If you are staying there, make sure you are on the east side of the lake as it gets way more sun. You cam message me for any more info if you want
