The Tour de France 2025 Route Guide & Analysis reveals a thrilling and demanding parcours that promises excitement from start to finish. The race begins in Lille Métropole and ends traditionally in Paris, but with a unique twist—riders will tackle Montmartre climbs before the final sprint on the Champs-Élysées. Covering over 3,300 km in 21 stages, the route includes seven flat stages, six hilly, six mountainous, and two individual time trials. Early stages in northern France could see crosswinds and breakaways, while the mid-race brings the first ITT in Caen and a tough summit on Bastille Day.
