Overview
- Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) has officially confirmed the inclusion of Montmartre in the final stage of the 2025 Tour de France.
- The route will follow the Paris 2024 Olympic course, featuring three climbs of Montmartre before concluding on the Champs-Élysées.
- This change celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic Champs-Élysées finish and the success of last summer’s Olympic road race, which drew over 500,000 spectators.
- The Montmartre route presents significant logistical and security challenges due to its narrow streets and the Tour’s larger convoy compared to the Olympics.
- Full details of the stage will be unveiled at a press conference next week at Paris City Hall, with key officials including Anne Hidalgo and Christian Prudhomme in attendance.
