The end of June is fast approaching, and so is the Tour de France 2025! The 112th edition will start in Lille, as part of the Grand Départ in the Nord de France region. For the first time in recent years, this will be a 100% French Tour de France, as it will not have a single meter outside France. However, it will also be a Tour de France with 48% transfers, as the distances between the stage finishes and the departures of the following stages is almost identical to the total distance of the Tour de France 2025, which is 3,338.8 km (the transfer distances are 3,055 km!)

1/ Saturday, July 5, 2025 - Lille > Lille - 184.9 km
The very first stage of the Tour de France 2025 starts from the Citadelle of Lille. First of all, the riders will make a short detour to the official start ceremony of the Tour de France 2025, which will take place in Rue Pierre Mauroy, 2.5 km from the fictitious start. It's also to pass in front of the Conseil Régional des Hauts-de-France before heading towards Wattignies, where the real start of this stage takes place, after no less than 11 km of neutralized route. The first real kilometers of the Tour de France 2025 then take place, heading south towards Lens and the first difficulty of this 112th Tour de France, the Côte de Notre-Dame-de-Lorette (4th category). From there, the riders continue northwards, through the sprint at La Motte-au-Bois (Morbecque), past Hazebrouck, and on to the second difficulty of the day, the famous Mont Cassel (4th category). This is where the return journey to Lille begins, via the Mont Noir (4th category) as the stage's final difficulty, and Armentières, before entering the metropolis of Lille, where they follow a fairly straight course until they almost arrive at the stage's starting point, even if the finish line is just before it, on Boulevard Vauban (you could discover its location in the publication on D-100 of the Tour de France 2025, with the photo of the Mondial Relay vehicle at the traffic lights).

The riders then head northwest again, reaching the coast at Pléneuf-Val-André. On the way to Saint-Brieuc, they pass through Yffiniac, the birthplace of five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault, 70 years ago, but this is unlikely to be a concern for the puncheurs who have marked this stage for its already legendary finish. After Saint-Brieuc, they contest the intermediate sprint at Plédran before continuing south to Mûr-de-Bretagne. By the time they reach the village, they will have already climbed a first hill, before arriving on a final circuit, which sees them climb the final difficulty of Mûr-de-Bretagne (Guerlédan) twice.

9/ Sunday, July 13, 2025 - Chinon > Châteauroux - 174.1 km
A new stage for sprinters awaits the riders on this second weekend of the Tour de France 2025, starting from Chinon in Indre-et-Loire. Soon after the start, the race joins the Vienne, where the stage's intermediate sprint will be held. At Orches, the descent to the south stops, before turning left and heading east via Châtellerault, before returning to Indre-et-Loire and arriving in Indre to head for the finish in Châteauroux. No difficulties are officially listed on the route of this stage, so the sprint teams should be able to organize themselves to take victory in the place where Mark Cavendish has shone 3 times (in 2008, 2011 and 2021)!

10/ Monday, July 14, 2025 - Ennezat > Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy - 165.3 km
The last stage of this long weekend (for it is a long weekend, with the national holiday on Monday July 14!) is more in keeping with what you'd expect to see from a stage on a weekend and during peak TV viewing times (and even at the roadside, for that matter).
At the start in Ennezat, the riders know that there are no less than 8 difficulties awaiting them, all - with one exception - 2nd category, including the final climb! The actual start of the stage will be given in Riom, and the riders will then already find a first difficulty, before heading towards Volvic, then the intermediate sprint to Durtol and Clermont-Ferrand. They then head for the Puy de Dôme, but don't climb it (otherwise the stage would end there), but turn instead around Clermont-Ferrand and through the beautifully undulating and verdant Circuit de Charade. It was on this circuit that the film Grand Prix was shot (in part), and where Laurent Jalabert won the French Championship in 1998. The race will take in the southern part of the circuit before leaving it in the direction of Ceyrat and Saint-Bonnet-près-Orcival. Remaining in volcanic country, the difficulties continue to mount, and it's via Chambon-le-Lac and Murol that the riders approach the finish, climbing one more pass before beginning the final ascent to Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy.

On the way back to Toulouse, they follow roads with several difficulties: 3 in 4th category and the last in 3rd category, with the Côte de Pech David, whose summit lies 8.8 kilometers from the finish. It has gradients of up to 20%, and could see the strongest riders selected to avoid a sprint finish on Boulevard Lascrosses.

12/ Thursday, July 17, 2025 - Auch > Hautacam - 180.6 km
From Auch, the 12th stage of the Tour de France 2025 will be its first Pyrenean stage. After around 100 km, the riders will see the road rise for real (just before that, they will have climbed a 4th-category climb), and will then have two major cols to contend with, with a small col in the middle, and with the final col being the high-altitude finish.
The first of these will be the 1st-category Col du Soulor, whose descent will be interrupted at Arrens by turning onto the ascent of the Col des Bordères, a 2nd-category col. After the descent to Argelès-Gazost, a giant then rises in front of them, with the climb to Hautacam, arriving at altitude on a outside-category pass. If it hasn't been the case before, it's certainly here that the men in the general classification will stand out!

13/ Friday, July 18, 2025 - Loudenvielle > Peyragudes - individual time trial - 10.9 km
Stage 13, on the eve of the 3rd weekend of the Tour de France 2025, will still be a Pyrenean stage, and what a stage it will be! In the Giro d'Italia, the Italians call it a cronoscalata, i.e. an uphill individual time trial, and that's exactly what it's all about, because after about 3 km on the flat from the start in Loudenvielle, and after a gradual uphill part, it's at the first intermediate timing point in Escadaoux that the road rises sharply. In total, the climb is 8 km at 7.9%, all the way to the Peyresourde-Balestas Altiport in Peyragudes, where each rider will finish his solo effort on the runway of the altiport, which was transformed into an Afghan base in 1997 during the filming of the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (see this report or this one).
Below you'll find the timetable, profile and OpenStreetMap for the thirteenth stage of the Tour de France 2025. Click on images to enlarge.

The 14th stage of the 3rd Saturday of the Tour de France 2025 is a further extension of the Pyrenean sojourn, starting from the unmissable town of Pau. The first 70km, up to the intermediate sprint at Esquièze-Sère, are very slightly uphill, but it's from here on that the stage takes on a real mountainous aspect, with a series of cols up to the finish at altitude.
The riders will have to tackle the Col du Tourmalet (hors catégorie), the Col d'Aspin (2e catégorie), the Col de Peyresourde (1ère catégorie, which they had already partially climbed in the previous day's time trial) and finally the climb to the finish in Luchon-Superbagnères (hors catégorie).

15/ Sunday July 20, 2025 - Muret > Carcassonne - 169.3 km
On the second day of the weekend, we're already out of the Pyrenees, but there's no guarantee that the stage from Muret will finish in a sprint. The Côte de Saint-Ferréol and the Côte de Sorèze, both 3rd category, shouldn't leave too many traces, but the Pas du Sant is a steeper climb, 2nd category, and when the riders reach the banner marking the top of this climb, they won't be finished for all that... For the next ten kilometers or so, the route continues to climb more gently, before heading downhill for forty kilometers or so, until the finish in Carcassonne.

R2/ Monday July 21, 2025 - rest in Montpellier
After a transfer from Carcassonne to Montpellier, it's here, near the sea, that the riders and followers of the Tour de France 2025 will be able to rest after a second week of hard racing, particularly with the extended passage through the Pyrenees.16/ Tuesday, July 22, 2025 - Montpellier > Mont Ventoux - 171.5 km
The day after the final rest day of the Tour de France 2025, the riders set off from Montpellier on stage 16. Bypassing Nîmes and Avignon on the north side, they arrive at the intermediate sprint in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It's only some twenty kilometers later that the road rises, timidly at first, then more forcefully from Bédoin, where the real climb of difficulty begins, marking this stage as it has done with others on the Tour de France (everyone remembers Chris Froome on foot in 2016! [that was the last time the Tour de France had a stage finish on top]): the Mont Ventoux.

One of the last opportunities for sprinters will present itself this Wednesday, July 22, at the start in Bollène.

18/ Thursday, July 24, 2025 - Vif > Courchevel Col de la Loze - 171.5 km
After this stage for sprinters, it's a real mountain stage that starts in Vif on Thursday. The first 40 km of the stage, including the intermediate sprint at Rioupéroux (Livet-et-Gavet), give the riders a moment's respite, but after that, the stage will be punctuated by the ascent of 3 out-of-category passes: Col du Glandon, Col de la Madeleine and the final climb from Brides-les-Bains to the Col de la Loze, above Courchevel. This will be the roof of the Tour de France 2025 and the rider who wins this stage also takes the prize associated with the Souvenir Henri Desgrange.

20/ Saturday, July 26, 2025 - Nantua > Pontarlier - 184.2 km
The penultimate stage of the Tour de France 2025 is a little off the beaten track compared with previous stages in the Alps, as it takes place in the Ain and Jura regions. The start is in Nantua, and the stage skirts Switzerland, exposing the riders to 4 difficulties: two in the first part and two in the last part of the stage. Soon enough, they climb up to the Col de la Croix de la Serra (3rd category), and soon after the descent of the latter, they continue on a new climb, which is a little gentler, as the Côte de Valfin is 4th category. They then compete in the intermediate sprint and descend to the foot of the Côte de Thésy (2nd category) much further on. Then follows a hilly route to the finish, with another referenced climb, the Côte de Longeville (4th category) before the finish in Pontarlier.

21/ Sunday, July 27, 2025 - Mantes-la-Ville > Paris Champs-Elysées - 132.3 km
You had already been able to discover the detailed presentation of this 21st and final stage of the Tour de France 2025 with finish in Paris and the circuit to Montmartre, with an explanation of the history of the stage and the 50 years of the finish on the Champs-Elysées as well as a detailed description of the route of this stage. Its route is precisely a clever mix between the historic circuit of the last stage of the Tour de France to the Champs-Elysées and the main elements of the course of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. More precisely, this stage will start from Mantes-la-Ville and head directly east/south-east. 61.6 kilometers separate the riders from the first crossing of the finish line, and it's this sixty kilometers or so that will be used for a little parade, champagne glass in hand for the winner and his team-mates, and this will be notably between the two climbs that are on this route. Very soon after the start, they'll climb the Côte de Bazemont, whose summit will be reached after just 10 kilometers from the actual start of this stage. The route then continues south-eastwards to Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole, where an easterly section will follow, passing the Château de Versailles and on to Viroflay, where the northeasterly ascent towards Paris will begin. After passing through Chaville, they turn onto the Côte du Pavé des Gardes. Arriving in Paris, the riders make the usual circuit 3 times along the banks of the Seine, through the small tunnel to Rue de Rivoli, then Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Elysées, before forking right to turn around the Madeleine and head for Montmartre, where they'll have to climb the Côte de la Butte Montmartre before returning to the Madeleine, Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Elysées, and repeating the usual circuit up to the point where they turn right onto Rue de Rivoli. They then do the same circuit twice more before finally finishing on the Champs-Elysées in Paris for this very last stage of the Tour de France 2025.
