Beyond the sporting dimension, Paris–Nice is committed to promoting sustainable mobility. Cycling epitomises leisure and an eco-friendly means of transport and fits in perfectly in the policy of the Tour de France: Riding into the Future.
Eco-responsibility
Natural heritage
- Natura 2000 areas: Protecting the environment and safeguarding biodiversity are major concerns for the organisation of Paris–Nice. The Biotope consultant firm has been supporting ASO since 2011 in carrying out Natura 2000 impact studies (European network of outstanding protected natural areas). In 2025, the race will go through 35 sensitive areas, which will be strictly monitored. The studies are not limited to Natura 2000 aera, but also cover nature reserves, regional nature parks, etc. crossed by the race. Protected areas are proposed to inform the public of the sensitivity of the sites.
- https://www.francebleu.fr/: Electric mobility is the obvious choice for the organisation's vehicle fleet. The 50 vehicles that make up the fleet are plug-in hybrids. Paris-Nice encourages spectators to come and support the riders by bike, train, carpooling or public transport. Find here the list of stations and public near the route.
- Waste management Waste collection area: riders will have specific collection zones to dispose of their waste, which will be cleaned by the organisation. This year, 4 to 6 zones will be available to the riders.
A technical document dedicated to waste management is sent to the start and finish cities, to help them set up waste management systems and standardize sorting throughout the event.- Eco event label from Nice
Since 2024, Paris-Nice has been a signatory to the City of Nice's eco-event charter. This year, the event is being assessed on 6 themes:
- Environmentally-friendly communication
- Clean mobility
- Waste prevention
- Environmental protection and resource saving
- Eco-responsible purchasing
- Community action
