Paris-Nice 2024 is the 82nd edition of the eight-stage event, often referred to as the 'Race to the Sun'. This year held from 8 to 10 March, it typically opens in wintry conditions near Paris before concluding in the warmer, Mediterranean city of Nice.
The exact route is yet to be announced, but the hilly parcours tend to favour climbers. One of the biggest week-long stage races in the UCI WorldTour calendar, Paris-Nice is often used by Tour de France hopefuls to test their form or tune up for the season.
