Julie-Tour 2025: A 39th edition reflecting the spirit of Les Résidences Soleil!
On June 24, under a radiant sun, the traditional Julie-Tour kicked off — a 10 km family bike ride through the beautiful city of Sainte-Julie, marking its 39th edition. This beloved family event launched the National Holiday celebrations, which continued throughout the afternoon with children’s activities, and into the evening with a big family party, live performances, and fireworks!
A festive and unifying kickoff, true to the spirit of Résidences Soleil
Starting at 9 a.m. under a brilliantly sunny sky, over 200 participants gathered at the sledding hill to hop on their bikes in a cheerful and energetic atmosphere. The 10 km route, enhanced with entertainment stations, delighted both young and old alike.
As the official presenter for the 16th consecutive year, Les Résidences Soleil – Famille Savoie have proudly supported the event since the opening of its Manoir Sainte-Julie, in 2009.
“Les Résidences Soleil have been proud partners of the event since the inauguration of Les Résidence Soleil Manoir Sainte-Julie 15 years ago. I would like to thank all the participants and the organizing team for this wonderful program.
It is our great pleasure to raffle off a beautiful gift basket among all participants. Thank you to the City of Sainte-Julie for the warm welcome. On behalf of the Savoie Family and Les Résidences Soleil, I wish you an excellent day.”
— Mrs Martine Lavoie, Principal Director, Les Résidences Soleil Manoir Sainte-Julie, at the prize-giving ceremony.
An inclusive, family-friendly… and eco-responsible party!
Beyond the physical activity, this day was an opportunity to bring together all generations in a spirit of lightness and inclusion. Seniors, young families, children… all pedaled, played or applauded in a vibrant and caring atmosphere.
As a token of appreciation, Les Résidences Soleil presented all participants with a teddy bear bearing their effigy. Quickly adopted, these little companions were attached to handlebars, placed in baskets or snuggled in the arms of young and old alike.
A gift basket, courtesy of Les Résidences Soleil, was also drawn from among the participants. The young winner left beaming, with a smile on his face and precious memories of this family Julie-Tour.
A gentle and fun way to create links, awaken smiles and embody the Savoie Family’s values of inclusion and generosity.
