The route of the Tour de France 2023
will therefore give pride of place to Auvergne with a total of four days on site for the runners, an arrival at the top of the puy de Dôme
a volcanic route in the heart of the Puys chain
and to finish an 11th stage 180 km long between Clermont-Ferrand and Moulins in the Allier. The stage will thus approach the stronghold of Julian Alaphilippe between Bourbonnais and Berry.
Clermont, which has hosted the Tour 11 times, the last time in 2020, will therefore once again see the riders set off again on Wednesday July 12, for a stage which will see a succession of “breaking legs” climbs and a finish favorable to sprinters with a straight line of 1,300 m in the heart of the town of Moulins. The arrival in the city of Allier will mark a historic date for the Grand Boucle which will thus have stopped in all the prefectures of metropolitan France.
