Mâcon
Stage city for the 6th time, prefecture of Saône-et-Loire (71), 34 300 inhabitants (Mâconnais)
In 2012, Mâcon hosted the start of a stage finishing in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine on which Thomas Voeckler accomplished the penultimate triumph of his four stage victories on the Tour de France.
Saint-Étienne
Stage city for the 26th time, prefecture of la Loire (42), 172 000 inhabitants (Stéphanois), 400 000 inhabitants (Saint-Étienne Métropole)

Ignored by the Tour de France before the World Wars due to its position in the centre of France, since 1950 Saint-Étienne has welcomed the race 25 times. The names of the winners crowned in this city (Bobet, Hinault or Herrera) speak for themselves
