Paris–Nice is a professional road cycling stage race in France, held annually since 1933. Raced over eight days in March, it usually starts with a prologue in the Paris region and ends with a final stage in Nice or on the Col d'Èze overlooking the city. The hilly course in the last days favours stage racers battling for overall victory.
