Paris-Nice is a professional cycling stage race in France and has been held annually since 1933.
The race usually starts in the Paris region and ends with a final stage either in Nice or on the Col d'Èze overlooking the city. The event is nicknamed "The Race to the Sun", as it runs to the south of the country and moves from cold early March Paris to the more spring-like conditions of the Côte d’Azur. The hilly course in the last days of the race favours stage racers who often battle for victory. As one of the iconic races of cycling, Paris-Nice is part of the UCI World Tour as the competition's second race of the season - the first in Europe - and tests the form and ambitions of the Grand Tour riders who will fight for victory in the Tour de France in the summer.
Paris-Nice Tickets
The race takes place over public roads and so no entry ticket is required to watch the cyclists; simply choose your spot along the route and get there in plenty of time before road closures to cheer them on. Hospitality tickets are available in some locations, which are located along the starting and final parts of the day's route.
You can find the full details of the route on the Paris-Nice website.
