On Sunday, July 21, 2024, Monaco will be hosting the Grande Boucle for the 12th time and will also be a stage town for the 7th time. This will be the 21st and final stage of the 111th Tour de France, and more specifically an individual time trial that will start in the Principality and finish in Nice on the Promenade des Anglais and then Place Masséna. A final test that could be the decider for clinching the title.
The Tour de France 2024 will end in Nice, not Paris, for the first time in its history because of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Overall, the 2024 Tour de France route covers 3,498 kilometers (2,174 miles) and contains 52,230 meters (171,358 feet) of total vertical climb.

In total, 4,400 metres of ascent to negotiate…
21st stage (35.2 km): Monaco-Nice
For the first time since 1989, the Tour de France will end with a time trial. From Monaco to Nice, by way of Port Hercule, the Larvotto tunnel, avenue Princesse Grace, La Turbie (8.1 km at 5.6%), the Col d’Eze (1.6 km at 8.1%) and Villefranche-sur-Mer for a finish on the Promenade des Anglais at the Place Massena, the route of this final time-trial promises to be spectacular in every sense of the word.
