Is there a Tour de France for women?

Or something similar? Seems odd that we've had weeks of coverage of the mens' event but no mention of anything comparable...

There is. It used to be at the same time (many years ago), but is not any more. Others will be able to tell you more.

It started in Brest one year. Just sayin'

Race no longer held - financial problems. History here:

The women's Giro supplanted it as the most important women's stage race in early 2000s.
