Le Fantôme Cycliste has stolen the famous yellow, green and red and white jerseys from Le Tour de France cycle race. But never fear, Sans Frontières are here! Sarah, Kent and Jack, our dynamic detectives, set out to recover the jerseys.

Learning some key French phrases, they follow the Tour de France and finish on the famous Champs-Élysées in Paris. Who will be the fastest on two wheels — or even one?

Who will defeat Le Fantôme Cycliste?

Le Tour de France was jam-packed with action and adventure, using large screen interactive video sequences shot on location in France. Traditional and original live music and French songs provided the 'soundtrack' to this freewheeling extravaganza.

Devised and scripted by John Cobb, Sarah Kemp and Ken Patterson, Le Tour de France was orginally researched and piloted in 2001 with staff and pupils from the North East.
