The Tour de France 2024, the route of which was revealed on Wednesday in Paris, will leave Florence, Italy, on June 29 and arrive on July 21, for the first time in history, in Nice – Paris Olympics oblige –, after 3,492 kilometers of effort. The estimate in kilometers may be slightly corrected after the organizers’ final reconnaissance.

A unique Large Loop
Oxygen mask recommended: the Tour de France 2024, with a unique route with a departure from Italy and an arrival in Nice, will gain altitude next summer with several incursions beyond 2,000 m and the passage through the highest asphalt road in France.
Presented on Wednesday at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, the 111th edition of the Grande Boucle is unlike any other since it will leave Italy for the first time, from Florence on June 29, and will arrive for the first time outside Paris, in Nice on July 21.
These two new features, unveiled a few months ago, are linked to the holding of the Olympic Games in Paris. Leaving abroad, for the third year in a row, and arriving far from the capital had become necessary in order not to overload the police and not to interfere with the final preparations for the Olympics.
This redraws the balance of an age-old race which will start a week earlier than usual, pass through the Alps twice, cross the Galibier on the fourth day and finish in Nice with a second individual time, 35 years after the defeat by eight seconds of Laurent Fignon against Greg Lemond on the Champs-Élysées.
