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 athletes 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 €850 in donations to ensure their participation.

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

A tradition on the Tour de France since 2003, every year celebrities and ambassadors for Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque come together in a collegial atmosphere for l'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.

Thanks to the generosity of our partners, Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque is able to take part in the mythical Tour de France caravan at a reduced cost:

Every year, the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque caravan Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque the road Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque for the Tour de France to celebrate generosity across the country, flying the colors of the “Tour du Coeur”!

Since the creation of the Tour de France Femmes with Zwift, we have continued our fund-raising activities for the event!

Partners, communities, everyone can play a part in helping us save children's hearts!

As with the race of the same name, which takes place on the same route as the men's Tour de France, the Tour de France Women's Stage is a race in which individual cycling enthusiasts can ride a stage under the same conditions as the pros.

To obtain a race number, participants can purchase one, or they can choose to help us save children's hearts by raising a minimum of €800 in donations.

For the first edition of the race in 2025, we were able to operate on 2 children thanks to the funds raised by the Coureurs du Cœur.Discover l'Étape du Tour Femmes
