Stage 20: Sunday, July 25 - 143.5 km (89 miles)

Arpajon Paris
(Societe du Tour de France) (Societe du Tour de France)


Celebrated for its bean fair and its floral facade, Arpajon welcomes the Tour de France for the first time. This is an ideal occasion to visit the Orges river and the 17th century market.

The Champs-Elysées Avenue, 71 meters wide, is not the largest street in the French capital, but it is certainly the most prestigious. After all, isn't it called the "most beautiful avenue in the world?" Since 1975, the Tour has always finished here. This year, the riders will cross the line 11 times. Will there be any who managed to use the Avenue to break away early and avoid the traditional field sprint?

Climbs: Km 36.5 - Saint-Rémy: 1 km at 7.2%.
Km 40.2 - Côte de Chateaufort: 0.9 km at 5.6%.

Start: Grande Rue, place
Finish: Avenue des Champs-Elysées
