We’ve got a 24h lead on the Tour de France race and will make the most of it.

The Alsace region is well known for it’s beautiful Rieslings and Gewurztraminers but also it’s towns and villages. Between Colmar, Riquewihr, Kaisersberg, and many more, it is easy to feel you are in a real live fairy tell!

This is exactly what we’ll endeavor to do today!

We will also get together to see the stage finish on TV. This could be a stage for a breakaway, depending f this first half of the race, of course!


Accommodation : Hotel Paul et Pia*** - Colmar show

Before your dinner, we will organize a wine tasting in order to discover the best wines of the area !


J-3

18 July - VIP Relais Étape at Markstein


This stage kicks off the first in a series that will determine the 2026 Tour de France winner.

There is a good chance that time gaps could happen and while the race may not be entirely won today, it could be lost for some.

The entire day will be devoted to race viewing. Thanks to our vehicle credentials we will precede the Publicity Caravan and will stop for a few photo opportunities along the way.

We will then view the race from our VIP location which is located directly along the course.


Accommodation : Mercure Belfort Centre**** - Belfort show
Included : picnic lunch included,bedroom, city tax and breakfast the next morning,dinner (no drinks)

ACCESS RELAIS ETAPE

Having the best places in the stadium isn’t that what everybody wants? Now you can have the best places along the course. This whole experience gives you a great view on the race and more. You’ll start off with a aperitif at the bar and a seated lunch.

After the lunch it will be time to watch the caravan pass by and then of course the peloton. During the whole stage you will enjoy the coverage by a former pro rider. To end the day you will receive a nice Tour de France gift.


J-4

19 July - Start Village in Champagnole & Departure to Geneva


The stage starts in Champagnole which is a small town near the French/Swiss border, so we’ll have a bit of a drive to get there. With our accredited vehicles, we’ll be able to park right at the start area. With your credentials, you’ll have access to the “start Village” as well as the rider’s enclosure.

The Start Village is THE place where everyone following the TDF meets up every morning. Nearby is the Publicity Caravan which is never shown on TV but is almost the biggest draw of the TDF. Depending on its location it is well worth seeing how they get motivated daily.

Every rider must sign in daily and the last opportunity is 5mn to 10mn before the start.

Again, with your credentials, you will be in the thick of things!


Included : breakfast

VIP ACCESS DEPARTURE VILLAGE

On-site, you can follow the preparations and the excitement leading up to the start, thanks to giant screens broadcasting live images, interviews, and real-time commentary. You'll have the opportunity to watch the riders prepare for the day’s stage, witness the team presentations and their riders - a key moment when they sign the start sheet before heading off into the race.

Feel free to step outside the start village to witness the grand departure of the publicity caravan.

The Start Village is also the stage for various activities: explore the Tour de France sponsors' stands, participate in contests/lotteries, collect exclusive goodies and taste regional specialties offered at the stands. The atmosphere is lively with musical performances, demonstrations, and occasionally cultural exhibitions highlighting the region hosting the stage.

VIP access closes after the stage's departure.

This VIP access immerses you in the heart of the action from the very start of the day, offering you an unforgettable and exclusive experience, up close with the riders and the legendary atmosphere of the Tour de France.
