The 2020 Tour de France entourage and organisation travel around with the riders. The team buses park within an enclosed and restricted area.

Also local companies will be keen to show off their wares. Your VIP passes will give you access to the village and the rider's paddock. If you are into collecting autographs, this is the best place for it.
Izoard finish-line hospitality
The Tour de France sets up a limited number of areas located on course within the final portion of the stage. These have names like Izoard and Galibier. Access to these areas is usually reserved and by invitation only. You will see famous ex-cyclists, sponsors and team guests. Typically these areas are within 200 metres or so of the finish line. There is also a spectator friendly elevated viewing area. You will be served with drinks and snacks and there is a big screen to watch the LIVE action as it unfolds. After watching the finish, you will celebrate the victory with Champagne before watching the daily podium ceremony.
