35 young people aged 14 to 18 are starting a 12-day randonnée between Rambouillet and Brest, round trip. Coming from all over France, the young cycling tourists have trained for several months to complete this adventure, which requires physical and mental preparation to tackle the stages day after day.

A foretaste of what long-distance cycling randonnées can offer them in the future, and perhaps one day they will embark on the Paris-Brest-Paris independently.

The stages of the Paris-Brest-Paris des Jeunes are as follows:

August 12: Departure from the Bergerie Nationale de Rambouillet » APPRENTIS D’AUTEUIL – SAINT MAURICE-SAINT GERMAIN

August 22: Gîte de Bellevue » Internat BIGNON – MORTAGNE AU PERCHE
August 23: Internat Bignon – Mortagne au perche » KYRIAD DREUX

The last two days, starting from Mortagne, will see the route of the Young riders follow the route of the main event, which will cross paths with them. The Paris-Brest-Paris and the young riders will take the departmental roads D8, D918b and D20 between Mortagne and Dreux, then the D152b, D101, D80 and D107 between Dreux and Rambouillet. A beautiful moment for great images and a form of passing the torch.
