It’s almost 20 kilometres along the coast to get from Monaco to Nice, but luckily the riders are sent into the mountains after a short stint on the flat. The riders roll of the ramp in one of the most famous harbors in the world and set off in the direction of Italy, but make a U-turn and return to climb up the D53 to La Turbie. It’s an 8.1 kilometres effort with an average gradient of 5.6%.
The route then descends to Éze, which is a staple section on Paris-Nice. Usually the riders go straight ahead, and further downhill, towards Nice, which is not happening this time. Instead, a righthander takes the riders onto a 1.6 kilometres climb at 8.1%.
After reaching the summit of the Col d’Éze on its steepest side the riders continue downhill towards Nice. They reach the Promenade des Anglais and race on the flat along the Mediterranean only to make a U-turn and return to the city centre and finish on Avenue Jean Médecin.

I love this site and it has made planning my trip to Nice to see the final 2 days of the Tour so much better. That being said, because I am super Type-A, I have been planning where I want to watch the final stage and picked somewhere near Port Lympia. Your map does not jibe with the route video on the official tour website. Your mapo shows the route going up Rue Cassini then making a sharp turn down Rue Catherine Segurane – where I was thinking of watching just for the tight turn. But the video and the route show the route heading down Quai Napoleon and turning left down Quai Papacino onto Quai Rauba Capeu and then down the Promenade de Anglais.
I write this only for the benefit of planning zealots, like myself, who bath in details.
I will be heading up to L’Escarene to see the peloton on Day 20.
Again, love the site!
