2025 Tour de France to go through Paris' historic Montmartre district
Briefly

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 race’s 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.
