The 2025 Tour de France will uniquely include Montmartre in its final stage, following the crowd success of the 2024 Olympic road races. While the race will traditionally end with a sprint on the Champs-Elysees, the climb to the Sacre-Coeur Basilica adds a picturesque element. Despite operational challenges posed by the narrow streets for the larger Tour peloton, this historic district's inclusion marks a significant enhancement to the raceâs finale after a traditional time trial in Nice last year due to Olympic preparations.
The addition of Montmartre presents a logistical challenge due to its narrow cobbled lanes, making it more difficult for the Tour's larger peloton to navigate.
The familiar conclusion at the Champs-Elysees for the Tour de France will complement a new scenic climb to Montmartre, enhancing the race's visual appeal.
