The 2025
Tour de France will start in the Hauts-de-France region, in the Northwestern tip of the nation. That has now been confirmed by the ASO after months of rumours suggesting that.
The 2024 edition will begin in Florence, Italy, and will be a route that predominantly focuses on the central but mostly southern regions of France. The finale will also be far from Paris due to the Olympic Games, so it is an edition where the organizers have put their focus into showcasing the best of the lower half of the country.
