It’s the 2024 Tour De France trip of a lifetime, a unique blend of LIVE race-viewing, challenging cycling, relaxation and cultural experiences aboard this French river cruise.
For the first time in half a century, the 2024 Tour De France will not finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Instead, Nice is the end point of La Grande Boucle 2024 with a time trial. This will be the first time the race has finished with competitive racing since Greg LeMond beat Laurent Fignon by 58 seconds in the final-day time trial to win his second Tour by the narrowest margin in history, eight seconds.
The unique finale location is a fantastic opportunity to experience Le Tour by premium river cruise.
