The first stage, on July 2, will take the peloton on a 188-kilometer journey from Mont Saint-Michel to Utah Beach, where Allied forces landed on D-Day during World War II.
The second stage will be a 182-km ride from St Lo to Cherbourg and the third will start from Granville and finish at a destination which is yet unknown. The whole route will be unveiled in October 2015.
