Taking in the Scenery

Carcassone was the backdrop to Mark Cavendish matching the great Belgian cyclist Eddie Merckx for stage wins. Le Tour has been great for a trip round its historic castles!

Following the Giro d’Italia we have Le Tour, the most famous professional cycle race in the world.

Coverage includes helicopter views as the peleton travels over 3000 kilometres across France in 21 days.

So if you like armchair viewing landscapes while planning your next campaign and can handle the chitchat of the commentators it is actually quite a relaxing experience.

And then there are the castles and houses for the Wargamer!

The race started in the north east – lots of grey stone
as we head south east the stone colour softens but there it no let up in fantastic castles
Many castles are integral with their medieval towns
Some as classic hilltop locations as well.
Even old Roman Colony footprints can be detected
Some of the landscape looks like it was created by a wargamer – the surreal Mont Ventoux
