Visit Tour de France

A mythical event for cycling fans of the Grande Boucle, the Tour de France stage is a unique opportunity to pedal a stage of the route under the same conditions as the professionals. Every year, it attracts thousands of sports enthusiasts who rush to buy race numbers as soon as they are available.

Thanks to our partnership with A.S.O, organizer of the event, we are fortunate to be able to obtain solidarity race numbers. A race number that allows you to take part in the competition, with the added bonus of solidarity, since to obtain it you don't have to buy it, but collect donations in aid of children with heart disease.
On a dedicated online collection platform, registered Coureurs du Cœur runners must collect a minimum of €800 in donations to ensure their participation.

To thank them, we offer surprises and encouragement on the day. It's an unforgettable experience, and helps us save children's hearts every year!

It's been a tradition on the Tour de France since 2003: every year, celebrities and ambassadors from Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque come together in a collegial atmosphere for the "Étape du Coeur ". Sportsmen and women, TV presenters, journalists, Koh-Lanta adventurers, actors... they pedal for children with heart disease, dressed in the Association's colors, on a stage a few hours before the professional cyclists pass by.

By donating their time, they help Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque raise its profile at this event, which is covered by the media.

In 2024, you can cheer on our ambassadors during the time trial between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin.

Thanks to the generosity of kind-hearted partners, Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque has the chance to be present in the mythical Tour de France caravan at a lower cost:

- The vehicles are on loan from Škoda and are decorated by Ideactif.

- Haribo, E.LECLERC, Cochonou, Domitys, Škoda, Le Parc Astérix offer thousands of goodies for the public.

- The caravan is led by a team of volunteers who stay with local residents free of charge.

Every year our caravan gets better and better, and we can say that it looks great with its 5 vehicles, including the car carrying our giant bear in a cyclist's jersey and "La Tronquinette", a giant collection trunk, embellished with a coin, to represent our collection effort at the event.

The aim is to promote the Association's cause to the general public throughout France, thank our partners and spread the message that "Every donation counts" in order to save children!

Départ le 29 juin d’Italie pour la première étape !

Since the creation of the Tour de France Femmes with Zwift, our caravan continues to criss-cross the roads of France during this event, and our fund-raising activities can continue for another week!

As with the Tour de France publicity caravan, our partners support us so that Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque can continue to shine on the roads at lower cost.
