Although the hero of Edmond Rostand’s play has no direct connection with the town, Cyrano has nevertheless been immortalised with a statue in a square in Bergerac’s historic centre. Apart from the time trials associated with Périgueux, the town has hosted two Tour stage finishes. In 2014, Lithuania’s Ramunas Navardauskas required equal amounts of flair and power to catch the peloton out with a masterful attack 13 kilometres from the finish. In 2017, Marcel Kittel’s unmatchable speed enabled him to clinch the 13th of his 14 Tour victories.
