While we wait for the final stage of the Tour de France 2025 to arrive, we'll be taking a stroll along the Champs-Elysées and discovering all the activities the most beautiful avenue in the world has to offer!

Once again this year, and since 1975 (except in 2024), the Tour de France will arrive on the mythical Champs-Elysées avenue on July 27, 2025, after visiting numerous French regions. We'll have to be patient as we wait for the riders to arrive on the most beautiful avenue in the world, at around 7.30pm, after their journey on this final stage, for the fiftieth anniversary of the finish on the Champs-Elysées.

Departing from Mantes-la-Ville, the 21st stage of the Tour de France 2025 will cover 120km across the Île-de-France region. Residents of Montigny-le-Bretonneux, Guyancourt, Versailles, Chaville and Meudon will have the chance to catch a glimpse of the brave cyclists, before they arrive in Paris on the Champs-Elysées at the end of the day. The best way to wait for them is to enjoy a stroll along the avenue and its surroundings, with its beautiful monuments, Michelin-starred restaurants and original activities!

Let's get busy and wait for the racers!
