Albi
Stage city for the 13th time, prefecture of Tarn (81), 51 600 inhabitants (Albigeois)
Since the episcopal city of Albi was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, visits by tourists have increased by almost 25%, meaning the city welcomes more than 1.2 million visitors per year.
Toulouse
Stage city for the 27th time, prefecture of Haute-Garonne, 466 300 inhabitants (Toulousains)
With an ideal terrain for sprinters, it is not surprising to find names such as Rik Van Steenbergen, André Darrigade or Jacques Esclassan among the winners on stages finishing near the city’s famous Capitole building. It was also after a sprint in 1948 that the most prestigious of stage winners in Toulouse tasted triumph, namely Gino Bartali.
