LE TOUR DE VIS 2014
Le Tour de VIS 2014 took place on Saturday 15th November with a morning start (approx 9:30) and a mid-afternoon finish.
Wesley Willett was Directeur Sportif for the 2014 Tour and tok us on a circuit from the conference hotel of just under 75km with about 850m of climbing.
The route began at the Marriott Rive Gauche, before heading south on the Coulee Verte bike path out of the City. It then followed quiet roads, cycle trails and occasional forest paths over mixed terrain before heading back in to Paris. It took in a couple of chateaux, including the Château de Versailles, and plenty of villages and countryside. And we got to cycle over the Seine and right past Le Tour Eiffel. Great!
We stopped for food and drink at the Château de Versailles, which has a boulangerie. We also scheduled a stop at the AVIS lab at INRIA, where Jean-Daniel and colleagues provided bags of bananas.
CONFIRMATION
The route and event details were agreed and confirmed at a MeetUp at IEEE VIS 2014 in Paris.
