As the final stage of first-ever Virtual Tour de France, Zwift’s Champs-Élysées route was designed to mimic what may be the most recognizable road in the world: the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris. While the avenue is known for its theaters, cafés, luxury shops, and annual Bastille Day parade, it’s best-known among cyclists as the finish of the Tour de France!

Cirque du Suffer

This one is silly, but after all the Rebel Routes we’ve created, we can’t help but love it. Around and around we go, 50 laps of the Arc de Triomphe with a sprint finish!

Some riders have complained of dizziness after lots of fast laps, but in our opinion, the only thing not to like here is that it’s a point-to-point route, meaning it can’t host multi-lap events.

Pro tip: steering definitely shortens the laps, and this could matter a lot in races. Read all about it here >

The most surprising thing about Heart of Montmartre is that it manages to be the longest route in Paris while skipping an entire section of Paris road!

This route traces three figure-8 laps of the Champs-Élysées, then completes three laps combining the Champs-Élysées and the Montmartre KOM via the Monceau Sprint, before finishing one more lap of the figure-8 Champs. (The road down to the Madeleine is entirely skipped.)

As the second-longest route in Zwift’s Paris, Paris Toujours is the analog to Heart of Montmartre. Both routes follow the pattern of “3 laps of Champs followed by 3 extended laps that include Champs+Montmartre”. But while Heart of Montmartre includes the northwestern road to Parc Monceau, Paris Toujours uses the southeastern road that leads to the Madeleine and Église Saint-Pierre de Montmartre.
