The Tour de France Will Likely Skip the Paris Finale in 2024.

According to Italian newspaper ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport,’ the Tour is swapping Paris for the French Riviera due to the race’s overlap with another major sporting event.

For the first time in race history, the Tour de France will not conclude in Paris in 2024.

That’s according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, which reports that Nice will be the host of the final stage in two years.

Why? With the Olympic Games set for Paris from late July into mid-August, officials do not want the logistical and security issues overlapping between the Games and the Tour.

The final stage of the Tour has always been in Paris (or in nearby suburbs), and since 1975 the final stage has ended on the Champs-Élysées.
