Former cyclist and lover of Gard, Roland FANGILLE decided in 1971 to combine his two passions to create the Étoile de Bessèges which he organized until his last breath in November 2020. Since then his daughter Claudine FANGILLE-ALLEGRE has taken over relief. Thanks to the work of its volunteers, the race has become an unmissable event on the European calendar. Discover the 5 steps:
