PARIS (AP) — The final stage of next year’s Tour de France will be held outside Paris for the first time since 1905 because of a clash with the Olympics, moving instead to the French Riviera.

Because of security and logistical reasons, the French capital won’t have its traditional Tour finish on the Champs-Elysees. The race will instead conclude in Nice on July 21. Just five days later, Paris will open the Olympics.

The race will start in Italy for the first time with a stage that includes more than 3,600 meters of climbing. High mountains will be on the 2024 schedule as soon as the fourth day in a race that features two individual time trials and four summit finishes.

There are a total of seven mountain stages on the program, across four mountain ranges, according to the route released Wednesday.

The race will kick off in the Italian city of Florence on June 29 and will take riders to Rimini through a series of hills and climbs in the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. That tricky start could set the scene for the first skirmishes between the main contenders.

Riders will first cross the Alps during Stage 4, when they will tackle the 2,642-meter Col du Galibier.

“The Tour peloton has never climbed so high, so early,” Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme said.

And it will just be just a taste of what’s to come since the total vertical gain of the 111th edition of the Tour reaches 52,230 meters.

The next big moment for two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and his rivals will be Stage 7 for the first time trial in the Bourgogne vineyards. The first rest day will then come after a stage in Champagne presenting several sectors on white gravel roads for a total of 32 kilometers that usually provide for spectacular racing in the dust.

Tour riders will then head south to the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, then return to the Alps for a pair of massive stages with hilltop finishes, at the Isola 2000 ski resort then the Col de la Couillole, a 15.7-kilometer (9.7-mile) ascent at an average gradient of 7.1%.

There should be suspense right until the very end because the last stage, traditionally a victory parade in Paris for the race leader until the final sprint takes shape, will be a 34-kilometer (21.1-mile) time trial between Monaco and Nice.

“Everyone remembers the last occasion the Tour finished with a time trial, when Greg LeMond stripped the yellow jersey from the shoulders of Laurent Fignon on the Champs-Elysees in 1989, by just eight seconds,” Prudhommne said. “Thirty-five years later, we can but dream of a similar duel.”

There are eight flat stages for the sprinters, leaving plenty of opportunities for Mark Cavendish to try to become the outright record-holder for most career stage wins at the sport’s biggest race.

The route for the third edition of the women’s Tour will take the peloton from the Dutch city of Rotterdam, starting Aug. 12, to the Alpe d’Huez resort. The race will feature eight stages and a total of 946 kilometers.

Jonas Vingegaard seals 2022 Tour de France triumph in Paris – as it happened

Jasper Philipsen sprinted to victory in Paris as Jonas Vingegaard of Jumbo-Visma clinched his triumph in the overall race

  • 24 Jul 2022 Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) wins Tour de France Stage 21!
  • 24 Jul 2022 Preamble

Triumphant: Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard, Wout Van Aert, Tiesj Benoot, Sepp Kuss and Christophe Laporte cross the finish line.

Jeremy Whittle reports from Paris:

C’est la vie, c’est la guerre, c’est le Tour. That is it for another year. Thank you for reading, thanks for emailing and tweeting, and see you soon for more. I will be back tomorrow for stage two of the Tour de France Femmes. We will have a report for stage 21 of the men’s race coming up soon. Au revoir.

Tadej Pogacar, the beaten champion, has a chat with Eurosport and is asked how it felt to ride into Paris in second, rather than first position on GC: “I was still really happy to be here. I was really proud with my other teammates. We were riding strong. Yeah, it was not bad at all, I was enjoying it a lot today.”

On the brewing Vingegaard rivalry: “I think we [the fans] are going to have a really great next couple of years in front of the television ... me, I will for sure enjoy these years on the bike, because I love the challenge.”

Will he celebrate tonight? asks Bernie Eisel for Eurosport. “I guess so. We will see what we have prepared ... For sure we’re going to have a nice day, a nice night. Tomorrow I’m already on stage two of the Tour de Femmes, to support my fiancee. Tomorrow I cheer on, then I need to go home and set up some telecoms stuff. Busy life.”

And there you have it. Tadej Pogacar, the two-times Tour de France champion, has to get home and sort out his broadband connection. Then he can start thinking about next year, maybe watch some Tour highlights on YouTube ...

On the podium.

Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard holds his daughter Frida on the podium.

Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) has a chat, and is asked about his stage 13 win: “It was definitely one of the last options for me in this Tour. I planned to go all in for the first week, but I was a little bit sick before, so to have this stage win is absolutely amazing ...

“Cycling is the new national sport in Denmark. It’s absolutely crazy ... of course with the start in Copenhagen it was really special for all of us. And to see all these people on the road, we didn’t expect that, not that many people. Of course with Jonas in the yellow jersey it makes cycling grow even more, and now we see half the Danish people here [in Paris], so that’s pretty amazing.”

Vingegaard, the champion , speaks while holding his young daughter: “It’s just incredible. I mean, now I’ve finally won the Tour. Now nothing can go wrong anymore and I’m sitting with my daughter, and it’s just incredible.

“It’s the biggest cycling race of the year, and it’s the biggest one you can win, and now I’ve done it, and no one can take this away from me.

“I always had the feeling that at least I could fight for the win. But I think yeah, in the end, when I really started believing was after Hautacam. I mean, I always believed in it, but then I was really thinking: something has to go almost wrong before I don’t win, that was after Hautacam .”

He is asked about seeing all the Danish fans in Paris: “That was really incredible for me. So many Danes here, so many Danes arrived to see me ride in the yellow jersey. I appreciate it so much and I have to say thank you to every Dane who’s here and that has been cheering for me for three weeks now, it means everything to me.”

How will he celebrate his victory? “Tuesday I have to go to Holland ... Wednesday in Copenhagen, Thursday in the town I live in, and Friday I’ll be on the couch for one week.

“Of course I’m super happy about my victory now. Of course now I want to celebrate, relax, but then I also want more [Tour de France victories], yes.”

“Where’s my make-up,” asks south London’s Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious) when he appears for a chat on Eurosport.

“I’ve loved it. I loved it last year, but to be that percentage or so stronger, and be able do stuff in the races, it’s been so much fun ... You get so wrapped up in it. It’s only when you look at your phone afterwards that you’re like: ‘Oh yeah, actually, this is the Tour de France’.”

Adam Blythe tells him how brilliant his performances have been. “You’re trying to get me a bit emotional again ... it’s great, I’ve loved every minute of it. Even the mountains: it’s suffering, but it’s beautiful suffering. It’s been great – I’m happy.”

Peter Sagan speaks! He is asked about the final sprint on Eurosport. “Pretty messy ... On the last turn my chain dropped ... I started my sprint but Jakobsen was in the front. His chain dropped out ... I came over, I gained some positions, but in the end it was not enough.”

There you go: Jaksobsen dropped his chain, says Sagan, which explains why he was nowhere in the end.

How was his Tour? “For me it was quite easy. A lot of years I was dealing with media every day, podium, I did it with green jersey ... interview stuff, people around the hotel ... just quite good. The average speed was high, every day full gas.”

And what about his performance? “It could be better, it could be worse, that’s life. No victory but I’m here, I finished. It’s quite special [in Paris].

“Wout van Aert is like some kind of new level. If you see his results in Tour de France , it’s very impressive. Sprint, time trial, climb ... I don’t know why he doesn’t go for yellow jersey ... it looks like easy, he can go [for yellow].”

The outgoing champion, Tadej Pogacar, speaks about his late attack on the final lap in Paris: “It was kind of funny. Thomas and Ganna on the right side, me on the left. Fuck, it was funny, because I said to Pippo [Ganna] two kilometres before, I said to him: “We go for an attack?” And we were sprinting against each other. And i think I was just dead by the Triomphe, on the roundabout, finished.”

Philippe Gilbert, after riding his final Tour stage, speaks to Eurosport: “Happy to be in Paris. It was a tough tour, really difficult, and I’m happy to have made it.”

What made it difficult? Wout van Aert? “Yeah. Pretty much him. No, the speed was crazy, out of control. We went with a plan every day, and it ended up with the opposite. Some days we thought it would be controllable, with a nice [breakaway] group like it used to be, but it would end up with a crazy strong group to chase, and finishing with almost 50 [km/h] average. It was dry every day, so it means fast. A lot of tailwind, so it was really fast, fast.

“It’s nice when you can decide yourself, when you stop. That’s my decision and I’m happy to take it. I enjoyed also today. It was nice, yeah.”

Bradley Wiggins remembers rooming with Gilbert 20 years ago when they rode for Française des Jeux. “I never imagined you’d go on to have the career you had. You’ve won everything there is to win in the sport.”

“The same for me about you,” Gilbert replies. “We achieved our goals, I won the one-day races and you won the stage races.

“My career is not over,” the legendary strong man Gilbert concludes. “I want to rest now, and finish on a good note, I hope to win one more race this year.”

Simon Geschke has a chat with Eurosport: “It was a really fun time in the mountains jersey ... if I’d lost it after two days, I’d have been like: ‘That was fun’. But the longer you keep it, the longer you start believing that you can take it all the way to Paris. I thought I had a realistic chance, actually, but on the last mountain stage I made a few mistakes here and there probably. In the third week the energy levels reached their limits and that was it.”

“Too bad, but that’s part of the sport. The head wanted it more than the legs, but at least I got to wear it to Paris. Kind of a strange feeling, but still nice for the pictures, I guess. It’s a privilege to wear a jersey in the Tour de France . For sure I enjoyed it today also although I was only second in the mountains classification ... it’s sort of a little achievement, as well.”

Simon Geschke (Cofidis) in polka-dots.

Surely you have to question why Groenewegen sprinted so early? It looked like a bit of panic. All he was likely to do was lead out Philipsen, or Ewan, or Sagan, or AN Other. As it happened, Philipsen was in the perfect position to benefit, right on Groenewegen’s wheel. And it was an utterly dominant win by Philipsen in the end. No doubt Mark Cavendish is sitting at home and thinking he could have won that. It was a bad day for both Quick-Step and Jakobsen, who didn’t feature at all.

Today’s stage winner Philipsen speaks: “I cannot believe [it], it’s a childhood dream coming true, this will take a while to realise. I’m just super-proud of the team, that we finished the Tour like this, it’s the cherry on the cake.

“I think it [the final kilometre] went ideal for me. I was in a great position. I think Dylan was forced to launch early and I could really stay in his wheel and do my final sprint when I wanted ... I’m super happy and proud that I could win in this Champs-Elysees, the dream of any sprinter.

“It couldn’t be better. We had some disappointments earlier this Tour, things that went not the way we wanted. But to finish off in style like this, to win stage 15 and then again on 21, on the most beautiful stage for a sprinter, it’s just unbelievable.”

Top 10 on stage 21:

1) Philipsen 2hr 58min 32sec 2) Groenewegen 3) Kristoff 4) Stuyven 5) Sagan 6) Lecroq 7) Van Poppel 8) Ewan 9) Hofstetter 10) Wright

Kristoff (who finished third) sums up the final sprint: “Unfortunately there was a big movement maybe 300m to go, everybody had to stop pedalling a bit, and we lost a bit of momentum, otherwise I think we could have been closer to Jasper ... anyway I’m happy with third place. Caleb was maybe a bit angry with me, but I felt I was fair, I made a straight line. I got the wheel of Groenwegen and Caleb was a bit boxed in because of that, but that’s not my fault.”

On the final straight, Luka Mezgec took up the leadout for BikeExchange on the left-hand side, trying to set up Groenewegen. Ewan looked pretty much in perfect position but was ultimately boxed in and didn’t even bother to sprint. Groenewegen was second, Kristoff third, Stuyven fourth and Sagan fifth!

Philipsen got on Groenewegen’s wheel - the BikeExchange–Jayco rider went early - and Philipsen timed it perfectly, completely dominating his rival in the final metres after springing out from behind Groenewegen and heading for the clear road on the right. Ewan looked unhappy to be boxed in by Kristoff. A really bad Tour de France for the Australian and for Lotto Soudal.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) wins Tour de France Stage 21!

Wow! Philipsen’s second stage win of the race is sealed in Paris! Back down the road, Jumbo-Visma ride across the finish line in formation. Jonas Vingegaard safely negotiates the final stage and wins his first Tour de France .

Alpecin-Deceuninck team’s Belgian rider Jasper Philipsen celebrates winning the stage.

1km to go: Thomas (Cofidis) attacks!

2.5km to go: Ewan is well placed for Lotto Soudal and has teammates around him. Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) is right up there. Jakobsen is going to have a say, too ...

3.5km to go: Politt leads for a while then pops and drops back. Simmons is there for Trek-Segafredo and Pedersen ... The peloton speeds towards the famous tunnel for one final time.

5km to go: Around the Arc for the final time. Ineos are on the front with Ganna. Trek-Segafredo are massed near the front. Politt is up there for Bora. BikeExchange working for Groenewegen. It’s all happening.

6.3km to go: Thomas and Ganna attack on the left for Ineos! Pogacar attacks off the front on the other side of the road! Pogacar isn’t letting his Tour de France crown go without at least reminding us all that he still exists!

7.5km to go: The riders round the right-hand bend which leads up to the start-finish line for the penultimate time. The Arc de Triomphe is visible in the distance. As the bell sounds for the final lap, Schachmann and Rutsch are overwhelmed by the charging peloton. The crowd roars! We are all back together!

8.5km to go : And then there were two. Schachmann and Rutsch are up front together, the two Groupama-FDJ riders having fallen out of it.

9km to go: HUGE ride by Schachmann of Bora-Hansgrohe, on the front again and stamping on the pedals as hard as he can. He has clearly ridden himself into some very good form at this Tour.

11km to go: Schachmann does another turn, then flicks his elbow to ask Jonas Rutsch to have a go. The turns at the front are becoming shorter and shorter as the fatigue really sets in. Are the sprinters’ teams just holding off a touch? No – the gap is now six seconds.

12km to go: Cracking ride by the four up front, this is. They are holding the peloton at around 10sec as they round the Arc de Triomphe. Mind you, the four is now down to three: Le Gac’s tank is empty and he drops back to the bunch.

15km to go: The break’s advantage drops to under 10 seconds. They will be getting swallowed up before too long. Looking grim-faced, Schachmann puts in another desperate dig to try and keep away. These guys are basically sprinting now to try and keep their advantage ... and it does creep back up to 11sec to mark the effort they are putting in.

18km to go: Doull has been dropped by the escape group so they are down to four. The gap is holding at 15sec. Le Gac and Duchesne, the Groupama-FDJ teammates, take it up at the tête de la course .

19km to go: The likes of Lotto Soudal are working desperately to set up a sprint. Their sports directors will be yelling down the team radios and no mistake. But will they simply be setting up the likes of Wout van Aert to win in Paris again? If as expected it’s a big bunch sprint, surely Jakobsen or Ewan will have the raw speed to win it ...?

How about Alexander Kristoff (Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux), a man who has won in Paris before, and who tends to excel when everyone else is knackered?

Jonas Vingegaard, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, passes the Louvre Museum

20km to go: Here we go. Into the final 20km of a truly epic Tour de France . The advantage for this five-man break is 15sec.

The riders in the break are Schachmann, Duchesne, Rutsch, Le Gac and Doull.

21km to go: #LargelyCeremonial

You get a different perception of the Largely Ceremonial and Processional Paris stage when you’re actually there. It’s unbelievable how fast the riders go on the circuit, and it’s exhilarating to see. Plus, Paris is the greatest city in the world. — Edward Pickering (@EdwardPickering) July 24, 2022

22km to go: Boasson Hagen has a mechanical and grabs a replacement bike. That’ll be another lung-bursting effort to get back into the peloton, let alone do anything to try and lead out his teammate Peter Sagan.

The Tour de France is an annual men’s cycling race. Every year the route changes, but the final stage of the race (Stage 21) ends in Paris, France. If you’re visiting the capital at this time of year, it’s a thrilling summer event you won’t want to miss. Bonus—it’s completely free to watch the Tour de France in person!

This year, the Tour de France will arrive in Paris on Sunday, July 23, 2023.

Here’s some more information about the Tour de France and a round-up of quick tips to prepare yourself for the event.

Tour de France peloton cyclists

Table of Contents

Where to See the Tour de France in Paris

  • The Tour de France route changes every year, so it’s best to check the official website for the route the peloton will take into Paris. Once inside Paris proper, the route is largely the same every year.
  • When the riders enter the final circuit, they race up the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, around the Arc de Triomphe, back down the avenue, and around the Jardin des Tuileries. They do this 8 times. Each loop takes about 9 minutes.
  • The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is going to be the most densely packed spot because that’s where the finish line is.
  • For example, the stretch of the route going up Boulevard Saint-Michel towards central Paris has shockingly few crowds with plenty of room to spread out along the street!
  • It’s really cool to stand on a corner so you can watch the cyclists round the bend as a unit.
  • The sun sets in the west, so pay attention to where you will be standing as the peloton enters Paris in the late afternoon/early evening. If you’re facing west, you might get a terrible view, not to mention terrible photos and videos due to backlighting. I made this mistake one year when standing near Pont Neuf bridge! (This is less of a problem on Boulevard Saint-Michel where the buildings block much of the direct sunlight.)

When to Arrive to Watch the Tour de France

  • To find the schedule with estimated times, you’ll need to scroll down on the webpage hyperlinked above and click on “Time Schedule.” It’ll just show up as a clock icon if you’re on your mobile device.
  • You can check the live feed for greater accuracy as they approach Paris.
  • 15-20 minutes ahead of the expected arrival of the peloton is plenty of time to find a spot somewhere along the route on the left bank of Paris. As you get closer to the Seine and cross over to the right bank, you’ll need secure a spot much earlier especially if you’re hoping to watch near the Tuileries or along the Champs-Élysées.
  • The Tour de France is led by “ la caravane .” It’s not quite a parade, but more like ads on wheels for various products. After seeing it once, I don’t mind skipping it!
  • Note that the caravan is about 2 hours ahead of the peloton by the time it gets to the capital. The crowd tends to thin out slightly after the caravan passes, so you could probably walk around a bit and come back for the main event.

How to Get There

  • Keep in mind that some metro stops will be closed for the event, usually close the finish line near the Champs-Élysées. Check the RATP app. 
  • Even if you’re not planning to watch the Tour de France, it’s good to look at where the route is going because you might need to adjust your plans for the day.

What to Bring as a Spectator

  • You’ll be standing outside for a while with little overhead coverage, so make sure you bring some sunscreen to reapply.
  • If you’re height-challenged, today is not the best day to wear your flattest shoes. Consider wearing something comfortable that will give you a better vantage.
  • They set up metal barriers along some parts of the route, closer to the ending. These get hot in the sun. Bring a small towel so you can rest your arms on the barrier, or better yet, bring your country’s flag!
  • Don’t get too sucked up in taking photos and videos… enjoy the experience and cheer the cyclists on! It goes by so fast!!!

Tour de France : Final stage of glory in Paris

Inspiration

Paris Cycling Tourism Sporting Activities

Reading time: 0 min Published on 4 January 2023, updated on 16 April 2024

The final sprint of the Tour de France always takes place on Paris’ famous avenue. On 18 July, as it has every year since 1975, the last stage of the famous cycling race will end on the Champs-Élysées.

With 3,383 kilometres for the legs to tackle and some 403,000 pedal strokes over three weeks, taking part in the Tour de France is no easy task.

In view of the conclusion of the 21st and final stage of the Grand Boucle , the peloton will give it all they’ve got. Before parading in the capital, the riders will have sweated to climb the 30 passes of the 2021 race, rising in their saddles to pick up momentum and clenching their teeth in the vertiginous descents.

The Champs-Élysées in all its majesty

From Brittany to the Alps, from the Occitanie to the Pyrenees, the riders will have been so focused on their performance that they won’t have soaked up much of the photogenic landscapes of France, broadcast across 100 TV channels.

But by the end of the efforts, what a reward: the majestic Champs-Élysées, with the blue-white-red wake of the famous Patrouille de France fly-past. Nobody else has such a claim on the famous avenue except the French football team, winner of the World Cup in 2018.

Standing on the podium at the bottom of the famous Parisian avenue, with the setting sun at the Arc de Triomphe and Grande Arche de la Défense as a backdrop, the winner of the Tour will have – like all his fellow riders – accomplished the Parisian ritual.

Established in 1975, this involves riding up and down the Champs-Élysées eight times, totalling 1,910 legendary metres separating the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde from the star of the Place Charles-de-Gaulle.

A ride beside the Louvre Pyramid

Seen from above, the spectacle of the peloton winding like a long ribbon decorated around the Arc de Triomphe is magical. From the pavements lining the route of this final sprint, the enthusiasm of the public pushes the riders on through the Quai des Tuileries, Place des Pyramides and Rue de Rivoli in Paris.

Will they take a look as they go past? Not sure. Almost lying on their handlebars, they traditionally take this last stage at a crazy pace, overlooking the cobblestones and prestigious landmarks around. Louis Vuitton, Guerlain, Ladurée and even, recently, the Galeries Lafayette, make up the exclusive backdrop of the peloton’s arrival on the Champs-Élysées.

Among the live support or behind your TV screen, it’s you who will enjoy all these beauties... happy as a spectator of the Tour!

Tour de France 2021 Route stage 21: Chatou - Paris

Tour de France 2021 stage 21

Champs-Élysées is French for Elysium, the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous in Greek mythology. What a place to end the world’s biggest annual sporting event!

The riders clip into their pedals in Chatou, which is situated on the Seine river just 13 kilometres shy of the finish line on the Champs-Élysées. Obviously, the riders will approach Paris’ city centre via a détour. A glass of champagne, a photo shoot, a very slow pace – those are the ingredients of the parade stage on the final day of action. But once the riders hit the cobbles on the Champs-Élysées the bunch accelerates. The stage ends with eight fast laps of almost 7 kilometres.

For four consecutive years Mark Cavendish was the fastest sprinter in Paris, but that was awhile ago in the period 2009-2012. In subsequent years Marcel Kittel (2013, 2014), André Greipel (2015, 2016), Dylan Groenewegen (2017), Alexander Kristoff (2018), Caleb Ewan (2019), and Sam Bennett (2020) powered to victory.

Bennett’s sprint victory on the Champs-Élysées had a green lining, as the Irishman also won the points competition. Cavendish could do the same. And add something extra to the mix: the all-time record of 35 stage wins at te Tour de france.

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds.

10 top tips for watching the Tour de France in Paris

Plan on watching the tour de france in paris here are 10 things to help you plan your big day..

I get lots of enquiries about watching the Tour de France ( see here for THIS general advice ). However the experience in the mountains or in the countryside (or even in larger towns and cities) is hugely different to the vibe in Paris as the peloton arrives in the French capital to crown the yellow jersey.

The last stage of the Tour de France might take a different route into Paris every year but it ALWAYS finishes with laps of the  Champs-Élysées, so out of all the stages of the Tour de France, the final one into Paris is in many ways the easiest to plan because you always know where it's going to end (and you've got all year to plan it – you don't actually need to wait for the final route announcement).

It's been this way since 1975 – the first time the Tour ended on the  Champs-Élysées, and the start of one of the finest sporting traditions in the world. Between 1968 amd 1974, the Tour finished at the Vélodrome de Vincennes (also known as Vélodrome Jacques Anquetil - La Cipale) to the south-east of the city. Before that, from 1904 and 1967, it ended at Parc des Princes – originally part-owned by Tour de France founder Henri Desgrange (the velodrome is long gone and has been replaced with a football stadium, which is now home to La Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain). The first-ever Tour de France , in 1903, ended for the first and only time at Ville-d'Avray, in the west of Paris.

Watching the Tour de France in Paris

Enough with the history!  My friend and fellow cyclist Jacqui Brown has this excellent first-hand account of watching the Tour de France in Paris.

She's also sent me the following tips to help make your planning easier.

1.   Book a hotel early (like now) and with a bit of research you could be surprised at how reasonable the prices are, but you need to book early and be aware that rooms will get more expensive as race day gets closer. If money is no object, book a room with a balcony overlooking the Jardin des Tuileries at a hotel on Rue de Rivoli where you will have one of the best views, or check out the Radisson Arc de Triomphe . See here for bike-friendly options in Paris if you're travelling with your bike. 

2. Find your space early. This will ensure you are on the route and in a good position so you don't miss anything. This is especially important if you are short. Don't forget to check the Tour de France schedule to see what time the Tour de France caravan comes through.

3. Ideally find a place on the circuit that goes around the Jardin des Tuileries , then up and down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées – this means the riders will pass by 8 times .

4. Don't worry about being on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées – it's more crowded and although the cyclists do pass up and then down again, the road is wide and in places the barriers are quite a distance from the edge of the road.

5. If you don’t want the crowds, then aim for the Jardin des Tuileries and find a place on Rue de Rivoli . There are far fewer people there than on the opposite side of the road. You need to exit the Metro at Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre.

6. From quite early on, some Metro stations will be closed . We wanted to exit at Concorde for Place de la Concorde, but had left it too late. Again, plan ahead to arrive early if you're arriving by Metro, or try and stay within walking distance of the route ( or hire a Vélib’  bike  – here are 5 great bike rides in Paris if you have time before or after the Tour).

7. Do be aware that there are very few access points to cross from one side of the road to the other, so don't get 'stuck' on one side if you need to get back to the other in a hurry.

8. Check the weather. It may be the end of July, but it could be cold and wet or hot and sunny and no matter where you are, you are unlikely to be in a sheltered spot. Standing still, exposed to the elements is no fun if you're unprepared. Pack either suncream and a hat, or coat and gloves, depending on the forecast. And don't forget water and snacks: there's nothing worse than finding the perfect spot only to have to give it up to go hunting for supplies.

9. Further to the above, it's good to watch in pairs or small groups. That way someone can always hold the fort and guard your spot while you go off to find the toilet or to take the kids for a walk if they are getting bored waiting.

10. Take your home country's supporters flag and don't be shy to shout out and have fun . The teams will love it and we found it to be a very friendly, international event.

How to watch Tour de France stage 21: live stream the action

Here's how to watch stage 21 of the 2023 Tour de France on TV

  • UK TV schedule
  • Watch away from home
  • US, Canada and Australia TV schedule
  • Stage 21 route

We're into the final day of this year's race, so a Tour de France stage 21 live stream is going to be a hot ticket if you want to watch the riders make their final journey into Paris. The Tour de France is free-to-air on ITVX (UK) and SBS On-Demand (AUS) . Make sure you know how to watch for free with a VPN from anywhere .

The 2023 Tour de France is coming to an end and stage 21 is the final chance for the sprinters to battle it out on Paris' most famous avenue, the Champs Élysées. All of the jerseys are wrapped up so we should see the typical champagne-filled procession in and around Paris.

The final stage begins at the Velodrome de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines before setting off on the journey back into Paris where yellow jersey winner, Jonas Vingegaard, will no doubt enjoy some champagne on the road with his teammates. Once they hit the city, the peloton will pass the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre multiple times before the wind-up for the final sprint begins. Alpecin-Deceuninck have been the best leadout unit at the 2023 Tour, with Jasper Philipsen winning four flat sprints. The flying Belgian should have Mathieu van der Poel and co. working to bring him to the final trip up the Champs Élysées safely before he looks to win the final Tour stage for the second year running. Groenewegen was closest to him last year and will be one of the other sprinters left after a brutal Tour trying to dethrone the green jersey wearer. 

With one final stage remaining, it’s helpful to know there are plenty of channels around the world broadcasting Tour de France 2023 live streams to help you keep up with the last bit of action. Here's how to watch stage 21 of the Tour de France 2023 .

Tour de France stage 21: the route

Stage 21: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Élysées (Sunday, July 23) The final stage of the 2023 Tour de France is the typical processional stage in and around Paris. It starts at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome which will play host to the track cycling at next year's Olympic Games, before looping back east towards the French capital. The 115.1km route is incredibly flat and only has one category four climb, but that won't threaten Giulio Ciccone's lead of the polka-dot classification. It's all set for the sprinters' royale on the Champs-Élysées with the fast men and leadouts ready to fight for position and battle for the win after completing nine laps of the Parisian circuit. The long finishing road on Paris's most famous avenue has long played host to the final Tour and was last won by Jasper Philipsen, holder of the green jersey, who will be the favourite for the day.
