TASTE OF THE TOUR: Sweet white wine and a big nose star

BERGERAC, France (AP) After a well-deserved rest day, the Tour de France peloton gets back to work on Tuesday through the colorful landscapes of the Perigord region.

Here’s a gastronomic, sporting and cultural glance at the 178-kilometer (111-mile) stage:

BAGUETTE AND BUTTER: Stage 10 is mainly flat and suited for sprinters, with just two minor climbs. Starting in Perigueux, it ends in Bergerac, a lovely medieval town on the banks of the river Dordogne.

The final kilometers of the stage are straightforward, a stark contrast to the maze of little streets where fans will spend the day treating themselves with the culinary specialties on offer.
