The finish line ...

Great news for guests to Basse Copette next year: there is not one but two stages of Tour de France 2012 in Upper Normandy! Yes, stages 4 and 5 pass around the edge of Seine Maritime with Basse Copette right at the centre – meaning you get a great choice of places to witness this great sporting event. And on two days – Wednesday 4 July and Thursday 5 July 2012 – propitious numbers indeed! Exact details will only be published next June, but we know on Wednesday 4 July stage 4 starts in Abbeville, about 30 minutes up the road, heads for Eu and then along the coast to Fecamp before finishing in Rouen. Stage 5 on July 5 starts in Rouen, about 45 minutes away, and passes south of Basse Copette as it heads towards Saint Quentin. Two days to experience Tour de France in Normandy in 2012, all the while staying at Basse Copette.
