The 2020 Tour de France stage by stage

Tour postponed until 29th August

The organisers of the Tour de France have announced that the 2020 Tour will take place two months later than planned. Riders will set off from Nice on 29th August instead of 27th June. Full dates have been updated on the stage details and on the map below.

A Tour of eastern and southern France ...

While last year's Tour de France took place almost entirely in the eastern half of France, the 2020 Tour will be almost all in the southern half of the country and will not involve any stages outside France. With stages in the Alps, the Cévennes, the Pyrenees, the Massif Central, the Jura and the Vosges, it will also be a tour of all the main mountain regions of France.

An UPDATED GUIDE TO THE ROUTE

The main feature of the 2020 Tour de France is that it is almost entirely in the southern half of France and that it will take in all the main mountain areas.
Eleven of the 21 stages of the 2020 Tour de France are described as hilly or mountainous, and only nine stages as being flat.
While last year's tour spent more time in the Pyrenees and less in the Alps, the 2020 Tour takes in only two days in the Pyrenees, while there are four finishes in the Alps and Alpine foothills. There is also a mountain finish in the Auvergne with riders finishing at the Pas de Peyrol (1589 metres), near the top of the Puy Mary.
The only time riders will go anywhere near the coast will be for the two days in the Charente Maritime.

Accommodation for the Tour de France
All hotel rooms in and around the start and finish points get booked up very fast by the teams and the media.
