For the first time, the Tour de France will stop in La Gacilly. Fittingly, it will host the women’s race, as La Gacilly is the birthplace of Yves Rocher, the entrepreneur who established his plant-based cosmetics company here. Some of the photographs taken during the stage start might even feature in the Festival Photo, Europe’s largest open-air photography exhibition, which draws 300,000 visitors to the village each year.
