Le \u00ab Gros L\u00e9on \u00bb est de retour sur les routes. Ce vendredi matin, le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre Unimog du Conseil d\u00e9partemental des Vosges a quitt\u00e9 \u00c9pinal avec un cap bien pr\u00e9cis : Barcelone, ville h\u00f4te du Grand D\u00e9part du Tour de France 2026.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pour la 17\u1d49 ann\u00e9e cons\u00e9cutive, cet impressionnant v\u00e9hicule ouvrira la route de la plus grande course cycliste au monde. Avant le passage du peloton, il remplit une mission essentielle : v\u00e9rifier l’\u00e9tat de la chauss\u00e9e, retirer les obstacles susceptibles de g\u00eaner les coureurs, signaler les \u00e9ventuels dangers et, si n\u00e9cessaire, humidifier la route lors des \u00e9pisodes de fortes chaleurs.<\/p>\n

Mais au-del\u00e0 de son r\u00f4le technique, le \u00ab Gros L\u00e9on \u00bb est devenu un v\u00e9ritable ambassadeur du territoire vosgien. Habill\u00e9 aux couleurs de la marque \u00ab Je vois la vie en Vosges \u00bb, il parcourra plusieurs milliers de kilom\u00e8tres durant les 21 \u00e9tapes de la Grande Boucle, offrant aux Vosges une visibilit\u00e9 exceptionnelle aupr\u00e8s de millions de t\u00e9l\u00e9spectateurs en France et \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger.<\/p>\n

Cette \u00e9dition 2026 rev\u00eat une dimension particuli\u00e8re puisque le Tour de France s’\u00e9lancera, pour la premi\u00e8re fois de son histoire, depuis Barcelone. Les deux premi\u00e8res \u00e9tapes se d\u00e9rouleront dans la capitale catalane avant que la course ne rejoigne la France. Il s’agira du troisi\u00e8me Grand D\u00e9part organis\u00e9 en Espagne, apr\u00e8s Saint-S\u00e9bastien en 1992 et Bilbao en 2023.<\/p>\n

Les Vosges seront \u00e9galement \u00e0 l’honneur lors du passage du Tour. Deux \u00e9tapes traverseront le d\u00e9partement : la premi\u00e8re reliera Dole \u00e0 Belfort en passant par Le Thillot, tandis que la seconde, entre Mulhouse et Le Markstein, empruntera les routes de Bussang et de Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle.<\/p>\n

Au volant du \u00ab Gros L\u00e9on \u00bb, Hamilton Santos, du Centre d’exploitation de Remiremont, accompagnera la caravane jusqu’\u00e0 l’arriv\u00e9e sur les Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es. Une fois le Tour termin\u00e9, l’Unimog retrouvera son quotidien au Centre d’exploitation de La Bresse, o\u00f9 il assure les travaux de fauchage durant l’\u00e9t\u00e9 et le d\u00e9neigement en hiver.<\/p>\n

Une vitrine pour la destination Vosges<\/h3>\n

La pr\u00e9sence du \u00ab Gros L\u00e9on \u00bb sur le Tour de France s’inscrit dans une strat\u00e9gie plus large de promotion du territoire. Le Conseil d\u00e9partemental mise sur le d\u00e9veloppement du cyclotourisme pour renforcer l’attractivit\u00e9 des Vosges.<\/p>\n

Le d\u00e9partement dispose aujourd’hui de pr\u00e8s de 200 kilom\u00e8tres de v\u00e9loroutes et voies vertes, de plus de 2 000 kilom\u00e8tres d’itin\u00e9raires balis\u00e9s et de plus de 200 structures labellis\u00e9es \u00ab Accueil V\u00e9lo \u00bb, offrant aux cyclistes des services adapt\u00e9s tout au long de leurs parcours.<\/p>\n

Chaque passage du \u00ab Gros L\u00e9on \u00bb constitue ainsi une formidable vitrine pour les paysages vosgiens, les infrastructures d\u00e9di\u00e9es au v\u00e9lo et la qualit\u00e9 de vie du territoire. Une mani\u00e8re de rappeler que les Vosges entendent s’imposer comme une destination incontournable pour les amateurs de cyclisme, de nature et de tourisme de plein air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
