Description This track layout hosted 1st Trophée de Cognac (a F.3 event) on August 8th 1964 and a stage of Tour de France on September 15th 1964. I don't know if it was used also in previous years or if it was inaugurated in 1964.
I don't know direction of the circuit. Below, when indicating length of straights and corners I suppose it was clockwise, but I could be wrong

Due to technical problems, temporarily it's no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)
