A unique location

Ringside seats for the Tour de France 2026

The Tour de France is the most watched sporting event in the world, with over 3 billion viewers. In 2026, the peloton crosses the Dordogne and the Domaine des Fours a Chaux is just 1 km from the planned route.

In the morning, walk or drive to the roadside in minutes to watch the publicity caravan and peloton pass. In the afternoon, relax by the pool or explore the castles of the Perigord Noir.

The precise stage dates will be published by the organisers on the official Tour de France website. We'll update this page once confirmed. In the meantime, book early.

Why choose the estate

Six great reasons to book

1 km from the route

The estate is approximately 1 km from the Tour de France 2026 riders' passage. Walk to the roadside or drive in 2 minutes.

Festive atmosphere guaranteed

The publicity caravan passes 1.5 hours before the riders. Decorations, music, gifts thrown from vehicles — a party before the peloton.

Peace and quiet guaranteed

Once the peloton has passed, return to the estate to rest in the peaceful Perigord countryside.

Perfect for groups or families

The three gites can be booked independently. Groups of friends or families, everyone gets the best seats.

Pool on your return

Cool off in the shared pool after a morning at the roadside under the Perigord sun.

Perigord Noir to explore

Beyond the stage, enjoy the Perigord Noir: Sarlat, Beynac, Castelnaud and La Roque-Gageac are all within 20 km.

Practical tips

How to make the most of a Tour de France stage

The peloton passes in 30 to 60 seconds — most of the atmosphere comes from the publicity caravan that precedes the riders by about 1.5 hours.

Arrive 2 to 3 hours before the expected passage. Bring water, sunscreen, hats and a picnic.

After the passage, allow 30 to 60 minutes to get back to your vehicle. With the estate so close to the route, you'll be back before most other spectators.
