What would be the best hilly finishes inside a town?

I would say a minimum of 100 000 inhabitants required.
A threshold too high for Chambéry, Troyes, Quimper, Bourges, Colmar, Ajaccio, Calais, Cannes, Pau, La Rochelle, Béziers, Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, Dunkirk, Poitiers, Avignon and Roubaix. Just to point out that it excludes a lot of towns.

I guess Besançon doesn't count as a hilly finish inside the town? Does Limoges? Grenoble? Toulon? Nice?

I think Rouen in the Tour this year is the best one in France.

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for some guidance on planning a trip to catch the Tour de France in 2025. I'm posting here first to get as much feedback and visibility as possible—last time I did this for my trip to the Alpes, the advice I got was incredibly helpful. Just let me know if there's a better spot to post this, and I’ll gladly move the conversation there.


This time, I'm planning to see the Pyrenean stages on July 17th, 18th, and 19th. I’ll be driving up from Barcelona and want to find the best place to stay in the Pyrenees—somewhere that lets me stay close to the action and make the most of my time during those stages.


As always, I really appreciate any tips or suggestions you might have!

Really having a thread for spectator tips throughout the season might be quite useful... Except, of course, if the members don't really go to that many races.

It's a great year for that, all 3 uphill finishes are very close to each other. I haven't visited the Tour outside of Denmark, but I'd recommend Bagnères-de-Luchon if they have any room.

The MTT should be amazing from the side of the road.
 
The big questionmark is how far from the finish the climb will take place. I read somewhere that the Montmartre laps are gonna take place before the race finishes on the usual circuit. If that means they are gonna do 5 laps or so around the Champs Elysees after the final climb then it's still gonna be a procession. If they go straight from Montmartre to the finish we might get quite an interesting stage.

But first I want actual confirmation on Montmartre being included.
