Tour de France 2026: Mulhouse prepares for the 14th stage
The city of Mulhouse is preparing to experience a major sporting moment on July 18, 2026. The Alsatian city has been chosen to host the official start of the 14th stage of the Tour de France, one of the most-watched cycling events in the world.
This stage promises to be spectacular for both the riders and the spectators. The route will connect the center of Mulhouse, nicknamed the "city of the Bollwerk," to the summit of Le Markstein, located in the Vosges mountains. This demanding course will put the cyclists' mountain climbing abilities to the test.
Due to the importance of this event, local authorities are already working on the logistical organization. Specific measures regarding parking and traffic will be implemented throughout the city to ensure the safety of participants and the public.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to find out about the planned restricted access for this day as soon as possible. Details regarding areas closed to cars and recommended routes will be communicated by the town hall in the coming months.
This visit of the Tour de France to Alsace represents an important opportunity for the region. In addition to the sporting aspect, this event attracts thousands of tourists every year, thereby offering international visibility to the Alsatian landscape and heritage.
