Frequently asked questions - The Grand Tour
Is there a group promotion for the 2025 edition?
Yes, you can view the details of the group offer by clicking HERE.
Is car parking at the start site included?
No. If you come by car, please allow $20 cash for parking at the meeting point, which will be announced later. This amount covers the parking of your car at the start site for the entire duration of your Grand Tour.
Is it possible to do the Grand Tour with an electric bike?
Yes, electrical connections are available in the villages during events.
Is it possible to have a gluten-free menu for people with gluten intolerance?
A gluten-free menu is available for meals. However, due to the high volume of logistics involved in serving meals on the Grand Tour, we cannot guarantee 100% freedom from cross-contamination.
The gluten-free menu is therefore available for participants with a gluten intolerance, but is not recommended for celiac participants.
Can I change my Grand Tour package?
No, the packages are offered according to the formulas and duration as presented on our website and these are not modifiable.
Is it possible to have access to the Grand Tour meal service without paying for accommodation?
The packages offered are not modifiable and include lodging and meals. However, you can bring your own meals, but it is not possible to deduct the price of meals from your package.
Does the Grand Tour go ahead even if it rains?
In the event of rain, the Grand Tour will proceed as scheduled. In the event of more severe weather conditions, such as high winds or thunderstorms, Vélo Québec reserves the right to bring forward or delay the start times in order to avoid such conditions.
Should extreme circumstances force the cancellation of a day, shuttles will be provided to the next village, except for loop days when you can simply stay in the village for the day.
If you have any doubts about the weather before hitting the road, drop in at the INFO kiosk and we'll be happy to advise you.
What to do if air quality is unsafe?
The safety of our participants is paramount, and should the air quality reach a dangerous level for vulnerable people (heart or lung problems, pregnant women, young children, etc.), shuttles will be provided to the next village, if necessary.
Today's air quality will be reported daily at the INFO booth and in Le Déchaîné. If you'd like to know more about air quality, or if you're uncomfortable riding, drop by the INFO booth and we'll work with you to find the solutions you need.
When will the Grand Tour booklet be sent out?
The booklet containing all the information you need to prepare for your Grand Tour will be mailed in the summer of 2025.
Is it possible to arrive the day before departure?
If you want to arrive on August 1, it's possible!
The departure site will be ready to welcome you with the following services:
- Info booth open from 2 p.m.
- Camping area at the start site
- Access to toilets and showers
- Bistro, music and food nearby
- Lunch included on August 2 before departure
What's the deadline for registration?
You can register online up to and including August 1. On-site registration will also be available on August 3. On-site registration will take place at the INFO kiosk at the start site, for the Sous les étoiles 3 and 6-day packages. Debit/credit cards only.
What do I do if my bracelet is broken?
If one of your bracelets is broken when you receive it, or if it has been tampered with afterwards, come and see us at the INFO kiosk and we'll repair it, or give you a new one.
What model are the rental tents?
This year, we are offering three tent rental models supplied by our partner Décathlon:
- Fresh and Black - 1 or 2 persons
- Arpenaz 4.1 - 1 or 2 persons
