It's the polka dot jersey, white with red dots. It's awarded to the "king of the mountains", the rider who has been fastest uphill.
The course of the Tour de France change every year so, time to time, it might start in neigbouring countries. However most of it is raced in France and it has always finished in Paris.
"Tour de" basically means "tour of". So tour de France = tour of France.
The Tour de France, the cycling race, just means tour of France, tour meaning race in this instance. So called because it goes around France.
