- 🔔 Bayeux Start Line – Medieval Majesty
- The peloton rolls out beneath the gaze of the mighty Notre-Dame Cathedral, one of France’s medieval masterpieces.
- Bag a spot early in Place de Québec — perfect for rider sign-ins, team buses, and selfies with fan flags flapping.
- ⛰️ Côte du Mont Pinçon (km 75)
- At 2.8 km @ 5.9%, this is the stage’s longest categorized climb.
- Great viewing at the summit lay-by with picnic-friendly clearings.
- Local cycling clubs usually gather here, creating a Tour party vibe with horns, painted roads, and cider-fueled chants.
- 🌾 Mid-Race: Crosswind Alley (km 90–110)
- If the wind’s up, this exposed section past open fields near Campandré-Valcongrain turns savage.
- Watch for echelons forming and groups getting torn apart — it’s chess at 50 km/h.
- 🏁 Vire Normandie Finish – Rue du Vieux Calvaire
- 500 m of slightly uphill agony to the line.
- Barriers will be jam-packed, so stake your claim early at the last right-hander onto Rue du Vieux Calvaire — you’ll see the final move being made.

Fan Insider Tip:
If you only catch one spot, make it the final uphill in Vire Normandie.
The last 500 m is made for glory or heartbreak — you’ll hear the crowd before you see the leaders. Bring a flag, a horn, and lose your voice.
