What exactly is the Tour de France? Is it a marathon?

It is a bicycle race completed in multiple stages - it is held in France, though the bikers sometimes pass through countries that are nearby

What other countries does the Tour de France pass through?

I'm not too sure, but I do find it interesting that it has been held every year since 1903, except for when the two World Wars were going on.
