As per tradition, the Tour will open on Monday April 18 with the cars on display in the Grand Palais in Paris. The next day the crews will leave the French capital at the crack of dawn to go to the official start at the Ch\u00e2teau de Courances. They will then set off for the timed events (competition or regularity) on four circuits\u2014Dijon-Prenois, Bresse, L\u00e9denon and Paul Ricard\u2014as well as 11 special stages on closed roads.<\/p>\n

The 2016 Tour will include Beaune, Lyon and Valence, after which the competitors will arrive on the Mediterranean coast, as the fourth leg will end in Marseille. Then it\u2019s on to the Croisette, in Cannes, for the finish after a journey of around 2000 kilometers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To ensure the anniversary event is memorable, Peter Auto has added a night stage to the program for the first time. Thus, the crews who arrive in Cannes on Saturday afternoon will still have another challenge ahead of them. After a few hours rest they will all head to the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur for a night run, punctuated by two special stages and followed by the finish on the Croisette that night. Sunday will bring down the curtain on the 25th Tour Auto Optic 2ooo. For complete information, please visit www.tourauto.com<\/p>\n
