Todays Tour stage finishes just 2km from our hotel in Nimes and you’ll have the unique opportunity to ride your bike across the Official Finish Line just a few hours before the peloton – followed by a photo shoot on the Official Podium. You’ll round off an amazing Tour de France day by witnessing the Race Finish from the VIP Tribune at the Finish Line in Nimes.

Before all the excitement of the stage finish, you’ll enjoy another beautiful ride through the French countryside, following parts of Stage 16 of the 2019 Tour de France, and including a unique ride over one of France’s most famous monuments, the Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct built in the 1st century!

After breakfast you’ll head over to St Paul Trois Chateaux to experience the start of Stage 17 of the Tour de France. You’ll have privileged access to the VIP Departure Village and Team Paddock, a great place to mingle and meet the riders as they relax and warm-up before the start of today’s stage.

In the afternoon relax by the hotel pool or visit the ancient city of Nimes which boasts a plethora of ancient Roman monuments including one of the best preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world (even better than the Colliseum in Rome). In any case, rest up today as there’s a full schedule of challenging rides coming – starting tomorrow!

One of Europe’s most iconic climbs is on the agenda today, Le Mont Ventoux from Bedoin!

After a short warm-up ride to the village of Bedoin you’re soon on the lower slopes of the climb to Ventoux. 14km of climbing through the pine forest brings you to the Chalet Reynard and the final 7km across the famous lunar landscape to the summit at 1900m. From the summit enjoy the long descent through vast lavender fields to Sault and the surprise of the day, the spectacular descent through the Gorges de la Nesque.

Today we leave behind the ancient Roman city of Nimes and head over to Nice where we’ll spend the final 3 days in the magnificent 5-star Anantara Plaza Hotel, perfectly situated on the Place Massena just 100m from the Finish Line of the final stage!

After checking in to the hotel and a quick lunch it’s time to get in the saddle for a magnificent ride in the mountains behind Nice. You’ll follow one of the most scenic and spectacular routes in France featuring the Col d’Eze and the Col de la Madone (made famous by a certain Lance Armstrong).

The final mountain stage and a summit finish on the Col de la Couillole and you’ll be there on the mountain-side to witness the best of the race action.

After a short transfer to the Col de Turini you’ll ride the final 73km of today’s Tour route over the Col de la Colmiane and the final ascent of the Col de la Couillole. Both of these climbs are challenging and both provide spectacular high mountain scenery. Riding these final 73km on the actual race route on Race Day will be an experience you’re unlikely to forget!

Our Logistics Team will have set up our Race-Viewing Hospitality Marquee on the Col de la Couillole which will be buzzing with thousands of passionate fans excited to see the finish on the final climb of the 2024 Tour de France. Enjoy the atmosphere from the comfort of our Private Hospitality Marquee. Food, drinks, and satellite TV race coverage will keep you entertained as you wait for the peloton to approach.

After an inspiring week of Tour de France race action and spectacular riding, it’s time to celebrate by witnessing the Final Time Trial from Monaco to Nice. Your hotel is situated just 100m from the Stage Finish Line on the Place Massena and the standard trip package comes with access to the Massena Grand-Stand seating directly opposite the Finish Line. Enjoy a thrilling finish to the 2024 Tour de France!
