“Bon Voyage” Route Details (France)
This seems to be a route tailor-made for racing! It’s simply three laps of the Croissant circuit followed by a finishing spur that ends on the Pavé Sprint Reverse.

We begin with a longish, flattish lead-in from the new Nordmandy start pens to the Dos d’Âne Sprint Reverse sprint arch. From here we travel clockwise around the 9.3km Croissant loop which takes us over the Sprint du Cratère, Sprinteur Sprint Reverse, and Dos d’Âne Sprint Reverse sprints (in that order).
After completing nearly three Croissant loops, we’ll take a left near the end of the third loop to head out past the sunflower field and into the village where the Pavé Sprint Reverse hosts our big finish. Allez allez!
The Strava segment for Bon Voyage doesn’t appear to show up…I completed it this morning but the leaderboard is completely empty 🤷♀️
It is maybe on the way. Held up with luggage lol.
is it twice round the loop and on to pave sprint?
I believe it’s the same Strava issue that is causing other multi-lap segments to not match. Nothing I can do to fix it on my end… have reported it to Strava repeatedly. May just break this into multiple segments somehow…
I bet the only people with knowledge of the strava segment matching algorithm left the company over 10 years ago and everyone else is terrified of touching it and breaking something.
Based on the non-responses I’ve been getting from Strava, I fear you may be correct…
Odd as unless I’m wrong the 25 laps of Volcano Circuit work and you’d think it would be the same. Maybe it’s something they’re doing with new segments
Might be something that is hit or miss depending on the actual geometry of the situation.
Ali, it definitely does appear to only affect newer segments (April 2024 and onward, at least). No idea why it’s working that way, but it’s getting quite annoying.
Old looping segments have problems too. The multiple laps segments in crit city will match incorrectly, ie they will match after fewer than the required number of laps.
If there was a change around apr 2024 in strava, would they use an old segment matching algorithm for all segments created before that and a new algorithm for all segments created after that? (since those old segments like 25 laps volcano are still matching efforts this year) That seems like a silly decision to make for strava (keeping around two algorithms going forward), especially since the supposed new algorithm is working less well.
Perhaps the types of routes that zwift is releasing have taken a turn as of late that explains the uptick? We didn’t have multiple loop routes, or out and back routes before on zwift really? Now we have multiple.
Nice flat route, good for a recovery ride. Otherwise a bit boring. ☠️🚴🏼♂️☠️
Why is this included in the veloveiwer leaderboard? No one can get the strava segment.
Because we hope someday Strava will fix things.
Also, if we don’t include it in the leaderboard, people think we missed the route.
The good news is, nobody will get it, so it doesn’t really matter…
Bon Voyage and Sacre Bleu are both missing in the ZI leaderboard now, I suppose it is because they don’t match (just like Deca Dash and a few other segments). No idea why Sacre Bleu won’t match, since it doesn’t have the “loop issue” those other routes have.
Strava’s segment matching algorithm needs a fix – maybe especially for the Virtual Ride category where there are no GPS issues.
Yes, this post says that https://zwiftinsider.com/route-lists-updated/
The issue seems to be solved; both Bon Voyage, Sacre Bleu and Deca Dash are working now (not sure when that was resolved).
Which other routes does it affect?
I think that’s the whole list.
The segments in the first lap are listed with different stats than the rest of the laps 😉
Fixed!
Missed the Sprinteur Sprint Reverse 😀
Fixed again!
