Borrowed from French Tour de France (literally “Tour of France”).

proper noun Tours de France · Tour de Frances

  1. An annual long-distance cycling race through France and other European countries. Sharing my predicament over a breakfast last week, he told me he commutes to his office every day by bike. Yet he was dressed in a smart black suit. His secret, he said, is black denim jeans with a 2 per cent elastane stretch — a great alternative for cyclists who don’t want to go full Tour de Franc
