Tour de France 2026: Stage 11 Vichy - Nevers
On Wednesday, July 15, the 2026 Tour de France will cross the Allier department for the 11th stage, from Vichy to Nevers.
This 161-kilometer stage, with its flat profile, is ideal for sprinters and speed enthusiasts.
Between heritage, a festive atmosphere, and the passion for cycling, this day promises a unique experience in the towns and villages along the route.
To fully enjoy it, book our hotel near Nevers!
After a mountain stage in the Cantal region, the Tour de France peloton will encounter much flatter terrain between Vichy and Nevers.
This flat 11th stage should favor the sprinters' teams, with a fast finish expected in Nevers.
The route will pass through several towns in the Bourbonnais region, including Moulins, and the typical landscapes of the Bourbonnais, with long straight stretches and small roads in the Allier department.
As surprising as it may seem, Vichy has only hosted the Tour de France once before.
That was in 1952, during a time trial won by the Italian cyclist Fiorenzo Magni.
In Nevers, several Tour finishes have already left their mark, notably the victories of sprinters Alessandro Petacchi in 2003 and Guido Bontempi in 1986.
The arrival of the 2026 stage thus marks the grand return of the Tour de France to the city after more than twenty years of absence.
The passage of the Tour de France transforms the entire region into a true celebration.
The publicity caravan, entertainment, a friendly atmosphere, and the enthusiasm of the spectators are all part of the experience.
Located between Nevers and Moulins, in the heart of the Allier region, our three-star Hotel Le Pont Neuf is the perfect starting point for enjoying this stage of the Tour de France while exploring the landscapes of the Bourbonnais.
In the peaceful village of Le Veurdre, our charming hotel welcomes you to a verdant setting ideal for relaxation.
The hotel offers 45 comfortable rooms and a restaurant serving simple, authentic cuisine.
Just the thing to recharge after a thrilling 11th stage of the Tour de France!
