Which Paris stadium hosted many Tour de France finishes through 1967?

The Parc des Princes hosted many Tour de France finishes through 1967.

The Paris venue was originally built as a velodrome in 1897, when track cycling was one of France’s most popular sports. From 1903 through 1967, the Tour completed its course on the Parc’s 666-metre pink cycling track. That made the stadium a defining part of the race’s early history.

The 1967 Tour was the 54th and final edition to finish at the Parc des Princes. The stadium was then rebuilt, beginning soon after that year’s race, and the Tour moved to the Vélodrome de Vincennes for its 1968 finish. It never returned to the Parc as the race’s final venue.

The Parc also hosted notable Tour milestones beyond ordinary finishes. Its 1948 finish was the first live television broadcast of the race. It later became best known as a football stadium and the long-time home of Paris Saint-Germain, which can cause confusion with the Stade de France or other Paris sporting venues.
