My friend Philippe from Leognan, suburb of Bordeaux made me discover the Federal weeks concept in 2008. Saumur was my first one. Since then, with the training provided by 7 days of cycling we use to continue the pleasure of cycling by making our own post additional tracks for one or two more weeks.

For the first week in Saint Pouçain, we had the chance to share a real house provided by the cycle organization. Breakfasts and diners were taken to the restaurant provided by Federal week organization. They served more than 1000 diners every night for 7 consective days.
