The Tourism Authority of Thailand announced earlier this year that Tour organisers were considering holding one or more race legs in Thailand, but it will not be in 2016.
It will be the first time the Tour, first raced in 1903, has started in that department, most famous for its hill-top island abbey Mont Saint-Michel.
