Tour de France 2025 in Laval

Anticipate your travel

Hosting the Tour de France will result in major restrictions from Friday 11 July. Traffic and parking will be severely disrupted along the entire route and its immediate surroundings. Traffic will be gradually reopened on Saturday evening, after the finish of the stage. Some areas, such as the fireworks area, will remain closed until midnight.

👉 To avoid inconvenience:

• Park outside the affected area
• Use the park-and-ride facilities
• Prefer walking, cycling or public transport

A free shuttle bus will link the Beausoleil karting car park (route d’Angers) to the town centre.

Easy access to the SNCF station: plan your journey!

For smooth access to the station, remember to plan your route carefully:

• From the west of Laval, give preference to the A81 (Laval-Ouest tollbooth, exit no. 3 Laval-Est).
• From the east, take the avenues de Mayenne, Chanzy or Tours.

On foot or by bike: think about your routes through the zone!

Some crossings will be temporarily closed to pedestrians, including rue de la Paix (except via rue Ambroise-Paré) and quai Béatrix-de-Gâvre.

A secure bike park is waiting for you near the finish area, set up by the Conseil Départemental, so you can park your two-wheeler in complete peace of mind!

Important for your arrival and departure on D-day:

• Don’t try to cross the course by car, it’s impossible!
