2025 Tour de France Final Stage to Feature Montmartre Climbs and Champs-Élysées Finish
Inspired by the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Tour's final stage will include three ascents of Montmartre and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Champs-Élysées finale.
- The 21st stage of the 2025 Tour de France will feature three climbs up Montmartre, including Rue Lepic, before concluding on the Champs-Élysées.
- This marks a return to the Champs-Élysées finish after a year in Nice and celebrates 50 years since its first use as the race's finale.
- The inclusion of Montmartre was inspired by its success during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where it provided a memorable backdrop for cycling events.
- Approval for the Montmartre route required intervention from President Emmanuel Macron and the Paris mayor's office after initial rejection by the Paris police prefect over logistical concerns.
- Route adjustments were made to accommodate recent urban landscaping changes on Rue Lepic, ensuring the peloton could navigate the area safely.
