Stage 1: Biarritz to Gurmencon. Split in two photos is the elevation profile. Note the elevation height on the Y-axis, and the miles on the X-axis. The first 4 stages take us to the Mediterranean through the foothills, and the remaining 8 stages take us back to the Atlantic through the mountains. The map underneath each elevation profile corresponds with the stage.
