Although my French is a little spotty, I believe that this is is a pre-race ride-through of the course for the 2008 French national championships. With no other riders around, you do get a pretty nice view of the course.

I must warn you, however, that I did get a little queasy midway through this video, although I’m not sure if that was because of the jittery, handlebar-mounted camera, the unfortunate dance soundtrack, or some combination of the two.
