Stage 4 questions
Where is the best place to watch Stage 4 of the 2027 Tour de France?
The Côte du Becquet, a steep climb inside the last 10 km, is the likely launch pad before the uphill finish in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin. The exposed coast roads are the place to see crosswinds split the bunch.
Where should I stay for Stage 4 in Cherbourg?
Stage 4 starts and finishes in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, and the race spends the rest day there on Monday 5 July. Two nights in Cherbourg cover both. Valognes, inland, has more rooms when the town is full.
How do I get to Cherbourg from the UK stages?
Ferries run from Portsmouth and Poole to Cherbourg, which suits fans coming from the Stage 3 finish in Cardiff. Direct trains also run from Paris Saint-Lazare.
Where should I stay if I am following on to Stage 5?
Stage 5 starts in Pontorson, next to Mont-Saint-Michel, on Wednesday 7 July. It is about two hours south of Cherbourg by car, so book Tuesday night in Pontorson, by Mont-Saint-Michel or in Avranches.

There are 30 campsites and RV areas within 3 km of the route: 19 campsites and 11 RV and motorhome areas.
