Tour de Corse
The Tour de Corse is born as a complement to the Flèches de France (see above). As it was not possible (Corsica being an island) to offer a Flèche de France connecting Paris to Ajaccio or to Bastia, the Vélo-Club Courbevoie-Asnières (VCCA) and Gilbert Dauvergne created the Tour de Corse in 1956. When the two clubs merged in 1963, the Tour de Corse was taken over by the ACP. The Tour de Corse was labelled by the French Cyclotourism Federation in 1995.
