According to Le Parisien, 22 people were arrested on the sidelines of the 21st and last stage of the Tour de France Sunday in Paris. Among the reasons for these arrests, are nail jets in Lepic Street.
An “incredible step” that could have had a completely different turn. According to information from our colleagues from the Parisian, 22 people were arrested on the sidelines of the 21st and last stage of the Tour de France between Mantes-la-Ville and Paris this Sunday.
If the party was total in the streets of the capital, and in particular in the 18th arrondissement where the runners crossed three times the Montmartre hill – reviving the atmosphere of the 2024 Olympic Games – some had other ideas behind the head. Still according to the local daily life, four people were arrested for throwing nails in Lepic Street.

ASO wants to register the course over time
For the other 18 arrests, the reasons are diverse: participation in a group in order to commit degradations or violence, voluntary violence committed on a person depositary of the public authority, contempt, port of prohibited weapon and participation in a prohibited demonstration.
But not enough to cool the organizer of the ASO tour, wrapped by popular jubilation and the sporting fight between Tadej Pogacar and Wout Van Aert in the last ascent of the Butte Montmartre, which wishes to perpetuate the route. “Success has exceeded our hopes and, inevitably, the desire to register this new course over time is present,” said Pierre-Yves Thouault, the deputy director of the Grande Boucle on Monday, on Monday.
However, nothing has been done yet. Authorization to scroll over more than a hundred runners in the streets of Montmartre is not so easy to obtain. The next phase will be the filing of an administrative file almost similar to the prefecture of Paris before perhaps announcing the good news to cycling fans on October 23 during the revelation of the route of the Tour de France 2026.
