L’ÉTAPE BRASIL BY TOUR DE FRANCE

Meet our
story

Through an unprecedented partnership between the private sector and A.S.O. – Amaury Sports Organization, arrived in Brazil in 2015, one of the most respected sporting events in the world.

After the three successful first editions in the city of Cunha, São Paulo, L'Étape Brasil went to Campos do Jordão, São Paulo, and in 2021, to the incredible city of Rio de Janeiro.

2022 was the year that we completed 10 stages in Brazil. It was an honor to be with you this far and we are already looking forward to living new and incredible experiences in 2024.

Are you coming with us?

L'Etape Campos do Jordão

Since 2018 in the city that is considered the Brazilian Switzerland, Campos do Jordão has followed the growth of the race and there, we raised the level of the organization with the support of the local Secretary of Tourism and Sports. Campos do Jordão already embraced cycling and cycle tourism, but the arrival of L'Étape in the city brought even greater visibility to these sectors.

On the social side, we promote events such as the "Cycling Ride", held annually by the city hall and which has been supported by part of our structure and team since 2018. The pedal offers hundreds of children, family members, educators and cyclists of different ages, a ride around the city, with all the necessary support and security.

L'Étape Brasil's "Pedalando para o futuro" project took cultural panels on the history and importance of biking to 9 public schools in the city in 2022 and students aged 4 to 14 developed drawing projects, models and letters to administrators public, in order to transform the present and future of these children and the population in general, into a real, better and more sustainable future through the bike.

We appreciate the participation of schools, students, teachers, everyone who voted for the best works and were in some way with us on this mission: Inspiring people to have cycling in their lives as we do.
