RJP 2026 celebrates its 10th anniversary with an exceptional edition in France<\/strong>, marking a major milestone in Jimmy Pelletier\u2019s global adventure. This edition takes the form of a\u00a010-day organized trip<\/strong>, including\u00a06 days of cycling<\/strong>and\u00a0a rest day in Tours<\/strong>, offering participants from Quebec a unique sporting, cultural, and human experience. The\u00a0675.3 km<\/strong>\u00a0route will connect\u00a0Versailles to Orl\u00e9ans<\/strong>, passing through\u00a0Angers, Le Mans, and Tours<\/strong>, before returning to Versailles. This symbolic loop reflects the spirit of resilience and solidarity at the heart of the event.<\/p>\n

The start will take place at the\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles<\/strong>, an iconic site of French history and art, representing the grandeur and refinement of the classical era. Jimmy will be accompanied by cyclists from Quebec, united to share this unique journey.<\/p>\n
