Nice as the final arrival rather than Paris?

Unheard of in the history of the Tour de France! The arrival of the Grande Boucle 2024 could be in Nice rather than Paris. The reason for this change: the organization of the Olympic Games which should open at the end of July 2024 in Paris.

The information comes from the Italian equivalent of the newspaper The TeamThe Gazzetta dello Sport“. The Italian daily, understands that the big start of the 111th edition will be given in Italy, in Florence. Again a first since the first of the Tour de France in 1903. The first 3 stages will take place entirely with our transalpine neighbors before a 4th stage synonymous with a return to France after a departure from Pinerolo.

But the biggest surprise in this article obviously comes from the arrival forecast: Nice instead of Paris. An arrival scheduled for July 21 on the Côte d’Azur, to avoid an excess of risks in Paris one week before the Olympic Games.

The situation would be recorded but not yet official. On the side of the town hall of Nice, the time is for the moment in denial.

Nice hosted the Grand Départ of the Tour de France during the edition postponed to August-September 2020 because of the Covid.
