The blue pinpoint on the map shows the 2011-2014 startline. During that time the drivers drove straight on to the current startline, before looping back at what is now the first right corner. That meant the drivers raced a small part of the track in both directions.

La Pommeraye is a town in the Pays de Loire. It hosts one of the only two hillclimbs in this region, the other being Bournezeau. The town is situated three kilometres south of the river Loire. The area is mostly used for viticulture. It lies right between three major cities; Nantes (70km west), Angers (32km east) and Cholet (42km south).
La Pommeraye is in the eastern most part of the Massif Armoricain. This Massif stretches from the western tip of Brittany towards western Normandy and the north of Pays de Loire near La Pommeraye. The peaks in this massif reach no higher than 410 metres. Nevertheless, in geology this is classified as a mountain range. The area was uplifted in the Cretaceous Period a 100 million years ago, when the Bay of Biscay was formed. The soil of the Massif Armoricain consists of very old rocks sometimes more than 600 million years old. Over time the mountain formations have been eroded to the plateau today.
The natural and historic region around La Pommeraye is called the Mauges. The area has always remained in the shadows of world history. The rich aristocracy lived further upstream the Loire, east of Angers. There they build enormous castles, now considered one of the most beautiful spots in France. A fine example can be found close to La Pommeraye, 15km north. It is the renaissance castle called Chateau de Serrant near Saint Georges de Loire.
The inhabitants of the Mauges were historically devoted catholics. They even joined the royalist rebellion against the Revolution in 1793. However there are not many large churches, certainly not in the Gothic or Romantic styles. Some 15 kilometres west of La Pommeraye is perhaps the biggest christian monument with the Abbey of Saint-Florent-le-Vieil. Nearby is also a prominent windmill that you will see on many touristic pictures.
