The Club des Cent Cols - Fédération Française de Cyclotourisme partnership

The close links between the Club des Cent Cols and the FFCT go back to the very beginnings of the club.

Jean Perdoux, then a member of the FFCT board, set up a section of the Velo Club d'Annecy in 1972, which he called the "Club des Cent Cols".

In 1991, the Confrérie broke away from the VCA and was taken over directly by the FFCT. And in 1997, the Confrérie officially became a Club, with the creation of the corresponding 1901 law association. The new club remained affiliated to the FFCT.

In January 2019, on the premises of the FFCT, a consultation meeting will bring together
Christian Proponet, General Secretary of the FFCT,
Pierre-Antoine Morin, Head of IT,
Gérard Birelli and Bernard Giraudeau, vice-chairman and chairman respectively of the Club des Cent Cols.

An initial partnership agreement was signed in 2020.

• The Club des Cent Cols provides the FFCT with data on France's cycling road and mule passes for the "veloenfrance" website, the FFCT's operational website for tours.
• It also provides descriptions of the club's permanent hikes.
• Each pass on the "veloenfrance" map is now highlighted with the club logo and the characteristics of the pass (road, mule track).
• The FFCT has put together a coherent menu of all the Club des Cent Cols PR on its website.
• The club is now a privileged partner of the FFCT, as evidenced by the presence of its logo close to that of the other partners.

The Club and the FFCT have extended this partnership in 2023 by :

• Data on road and mule passes in 10 European countries, totalling 12,000 passes, has now been integrated into "veloenfrance".
• A map and photo display link is activated for each pass.
• 5 new club hikes, known as "loops", join the group of permanent hikes
• The visibility of the "Club des Cent Cols" on the "veloenfrance" website has been significantly improved with the implementation of a partnership that benefits both parties.
