I had a quick search but couldn't find it maybe spelling was wrong or something. They have a scheme whereby you have to do certain routes in a certain amount of time getting stamps from local cycle shops etc along the way If you do the route in the set time you get something, kind of like belts in martial arts the etoiliste is french for star .... something and the routes form a star across france once you have done all routes you can call yourself an offial etoiliste the times and distances are pretty hard some involve night cycling to finish the route in time. i didn't do that by the way just did it at my own pace i'll search some more for links but then there is a map shop in covent garden that has a very good range of cycle maps of the whole of france in great detail, my michellin map of france was a bit large scale for some of the more out of the way places but gave me a general idea.
