Tour de France 2025: the Grand Loop will start in Hauts-de-France!

It's official! After Copenhagen, Bilbao and Florence in 2024, the Tour de France will start in France, and more specifically in the Hauts-de-France region!

For the fifth time since its creation in 1903, the Grande boucle will set off from Hauts-de-France, after the 1960 (Lille), 1969 (Roubaix), 1994 (Lille) and 2001 (Dunkirk) editions.

It's always an event to host the Tour de France... So it's wonderful to welcome the Grand Départ of the world's greatest cycling race to the heart of cycling country!

Unity of partners, which worked!

Over the past few months, the Hauts-de-France Region, the Département du Nord and the Métropole Européenne de Lille have joined forces to successfully support the regional bid! Indeed, it's official: the "Lille-Nord de France" Grand Départ of the 112ᵉ edition of the Tour de France will start from Lille, the regional capital, promising several days of festivities worthy of the popular atmosphere of Hauts-de-France!
