The Tour de France could start from Chinon on July 13, 2025

Cycling race fans have marked the date on their calendars in red: October 29, 2024 will officially reveal the route of the 2025 Tour de France.

However, some stopover towns are already more or less known. And this year the Grande Boucle, which will have its 112^e edition, could well pass, or even stop in Indre-et-Loire.

According to information obtained by The New RepublicChinon could welcome the runners on Sunday July 13.

They would arrive from the west of France and head for Châteauroux, a stopover town from Sunday evening.

Will Chinon be a starting point for a day of online racing? This is the hypothesis that seems the most credible on the route which is beginning to take shape – on July 11, the runners should arrive in Laval (Mayenne).

Hotel reservations

If no elected official from the City of Chinon confirms the news, several hotels in the Rabelaisian city do not hide having “reservations” for the event. More than a warning sign! And all cycling enthusiasts are crossing their fingers.

For the moment, only the route of the first three stages, in the North, has been officially revealed, with the Grand Départ taking place from Lille. For other cities, you will have to wait. Looking forward to October 29!
