| Obverse description | The obverse presents a stylized arched road spanning the field from the lower right, where Corsica — the departure point of the 2013 Tour de France centenary edition — is depicted, to the upper portion of the design dominated by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. At the center, the official Tour de France logo is prominently displayed alongside the numeral '100', commemorating the 100th edition of the race. The denomination '10 EURO' and the date '2013' appear in the field, with the national legend 'REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' completing the inscription. The composition balances cartographic symbolism with architectural iconography in a modern graphic style. |

| Additional information |
Part of France's annual "Best of" collector series, this issue commemorates youth programs and associations recognized by the French government — a tradition the Monnaie de Paris has maintained since the early 2000s as a way of directing numismatic revenue toward civic recognition. The series has never carried significant secondary market premiums, and mintages were typically modest, aimed squarely at the domestic gift and collector trade rather than international numismatic audiences.
