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.

Grâce à la générosité de nos partenaires de cœur, Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque a la chance d’être présente dans la mythique caravane du Tour de France à moindre coût :

• Les véhicules nous sont prêtés par Škoda et sont décorés par Ideactif.

• Haribo, E.LECLERC, Le Parc Astérix et Jules nous offrent des milliers de goodies à offrir au public.

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

Chaque année notre caravane s’embellit et représente fièrement l’Association sur les routes de France (et d’Europe !). En 2024, la caravane Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque va prendre la route pour le Tour du Cœur. Elle sera composée de 5 véhicules, dont 4 célèbrant la générosité des Français et « La Tronquinette », un tronc de collecte géant agrémenté d’une pièce de monnaie pour représenter notre effort de collecte sur l’événement.

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.
