Giant squirrels invade AubisqueBest Day A tough call, but if you like mountains, stage 16 from Luchon to Pau on July 20th is the day. The ride leaves from our hotel and intersects the course for the ascent of the Col du Tourmalet. We’ll have lunch waiting for us in La Mongie some four kilometers before the summit. Then we’ll get set roadside to catch the race action live amid the high peaks of the Pyrénées.

Toughest Ride A Tour “rest” day can be as hard as you want to make it! Since there’s no racing on July 21, we have plenty of time for a long mountain mission on the nearby historic climbs, with options including the ascent of Hautacam (15K/9M, 7%) and the Col de Marie-Blanque (9K/5.5M, 8%).

Coolest Inclusion Our balconied suite at the 5-star Hotel Crillon provides a spectacular view of the final-day finishing circuit in Paris, with luxurious shelter from the elements, live TV viewing, VIP visitors and easy access to course-side views. After the race ends, the Place de la Concorde staging area for the final parade of Tour teams is right in front of the hotel!
