Our Geo Quiz looks out over the handlebars.
The Tour de France always ends on the Champs-Elysées in Paris.
But that’d be too easy a Quiz. And the grueling mountain stages of the tour are over so we can’t ask you about the Pyrenees.
So here’s a question: where did Friday’s stage of the tour, the 18th of 20 in all, end up?
The finish line was in the town of Brive-la-Gaillarde. Now, can you name this region of France?
It’s a rural farming area in the south-west of France where herds of distinctive chestnut-red cows roam all over the place.
The town of Brive-la-Gaillarde is located in the Limousin * region in south-west France, the answer to today’s Geo Quiz.
The BBC’s Neil Curry has been watching the tour and says the sprint to the finish on Stage 18 was awesome.

* Yes, limousines are named after the region of Limousin.
