Without much surprises if you have followed the search for the Tour de France 2023 race route on this website in the past few weeks, the 110th edition of the Grande Boucle will take place on a rather limited part of France after the Grand Départ in Bilbao and in the rest of the Spanish Bask country, but it does visit all French mountain areas.
Indeed, after the Grand Départ and a visit of the Pyrenees, the race will go up north up till Bordeaux before taking off, via Limoges, towards the Massif Central followed by the Jura to get to the Alps where the race will camp for several days before getting back on its steps, visit another part of the Jura and end off in the Vosges before the transfer towards Paris. Only one time trial, not without any difficulties, of 22 kilometers will be on the programme of this Tour!
--Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Alps and Vosges will be on the programme! --

While the Tour de France 2022 is doing its transfer from Denmark to France this Monday 4 July 2022, let's look one year ahead, towards the Grand Départ of the Tour de France 2023.
When the choice of the Bask Country was announced for this much more southern start than the most northern start in the history of the Tour de France which we just had in Denmark and in Copenhagen for the 109th edition this year, I didn't find the time to publish an article with this information and as a gift to make up for this delay is thus made up of the detailed maps with the race routes of the 3 Bask stages (only the start and first part of the last stage) which will mark the start of this 110th edition of the Tour!
