Paris-Nice runs from Sunday 7 to Sunday 14 March 2027. Eight days of racing between the Paris region and the Côte d'Azur.
Nicknamed the Race to the Sun, it is the first major stage race of the season in France. The opening stages, often windy and nervous, suit sprinters and rouleurs; the end of the week, in the hills behind Nice, belongs to the climbers.
It is held at the same time as Tirreno-Adriatico in Italy: the Grand Tour leaders choose one or the other to launch their season.
