But this longest stage of the Tour (236.5km) passes through many of the villages made famous by the April classic, including Fontaineau-Bois, the hometown of outgoing Tour race director Jean-Marie Leblanc. The finale passes the Napoleanic palace in Compiègne on cobblestones before hitting the 1km Avenue Royale in the south part of town
