The 3e edition of the Loire" rel="tag">Pays de la Loire Tour 2025 professional cycling race will take place in the Loire departments in April 2025. In July 2024, the town of Ernée and the Community of Communes of Ernée were asked to host an arrival of stage in Ernée, April 10, 2025.
At the time, we gave an agreement in principle, verbally, knowing that we were being asked for a financial contribution of €50,000, divided equally between each community. To this direct contribution, we must add the time of the city’s technical services (installation of barriers, provision of rooms) and the involvement of volunteers from the city’s two cycling clubs as flaggers.

The budget got the better of the move to Ernée
Since then, the national political context has evolved: We are in financial uncertainty. In the absence of a vote on the 2025 state budget, we do not, to date, have clear visibility on our 2025 revenues coming from the national level.
In addition, the Region’s 2025 budget was voted on last week, with budgetary restrictions and 82 million euros in savings. For our part, we must also control our budgets. This is why the municipal office took the decision not to grant a subsidy to the Pays de la Loire Tour and not to follow up on the proposal from the organizers of this race to host a stage in our city for the 2025 edition.
