The 34th International Cycling History Conference (ICHC) will be held in La Chaussée-Saint-Victor, France, 22-25 May, 2025. La Chuassée-Saint-Victor, is a commune in the center Loire Valley and part of UNESCO's Val de Loire World Heritage site. La Chaussée, thought to refer to an ancient Roman road, was a hamlet of the village of Saint Victor, named after a hermit who lived there until he was consecrated Bishop of Le Mans in about 525. Successive flooding of the Loire forced villagers of Saint Victor to move up the hillside into the hamlet of La Chaussée. During the French Revolution, the commune took the name La Chaussée Saint-Victor. Sights include the Church of Saint Victor, which dates from the 15th century, was enlarged in 1663 and 1700, and almost entirely rebuilt in the 19th century, and the Parc des Mées. A number of significant Chateaux are within easy visiting distance, including the Chateau de Blois, the Chateau de Chambord, the Chateau de Cheverny, and the Chateau de Chaumont. The region also boast a number of interesting gardens. Also, La Chaussée-Saint-Victor is crossed by the cyclotourist route La Loire à Vélo, an 800km course connecting Cuffy (near Nevers) to St. Brévin-les-Pins (Loire Atlantique),
