On the other hand, it will already be more difficult the next day before arriving in Boulogne on a fairly steep climb. In short, the lucky one on the first day will have to take advantage of the yellow, they won’t keep it for long
Rouen, Caen, Saint-Malo, le Mûr de Bretagne, Châteauroux, Toulouse, Hautacam, Peyragudes, Superbagnères, Carcassonne, Le Ventoux, Valence, Col de la Loze, La Plagne, Pontarlier, Paris, here are the main arrival cities
And obviously at the moment when I make a polite joke, Xavier Bertrand comes on stage, who worked like other regional leaders to organize the big departure in Lille. Here we go for five minutes of blabla which I will spare you. In summary, everyone is delighted

Of course, some local elected officials have already spoken from right to left, and we already know the major trends of the 2025 route. But we will still be there to discover the route in its entirety, from 11:30 a.m.
