“Champs-Élysées” Route Details (Paris)

July 2, 2020

LAST UPDATED July 10, 2020

This segment exactly matches the Champs-Élysées route in Paris, starting and ending at the lap arch and traveling the circuit in a counter-clockwise direction. Soon after the lap begins, you'll feel the resistance ramp up as you begin climbing Montée des Champs Elysées, the 1.3km rise up to the Arc de Triomphe. There's a sprint point here (a leaderboard segment within a leaderboard segment) which you can contest if you'd like. Either way, soon enough you'll find yourself looping around the Arc de Triomphe to descend Avenue des Champs-Élysées. This is perhaps the most recognizable road in the world, and there are lots of famous real-world sites built into the game. See if you can spot the Eiffel Tower, the Obelisk of Luxor, and other landmarks. Or just put your head down, give it all you've got, and see if you can grab that leader's jersey!
