Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from Nancy, which is about 90 kilometers away. Take the A330 highway towards Strasbourg. After approximately 80 kilometers, take the exit onto the A35 towards Strasbourg. Continue on the A35 for around 10 kilometers, then take the exit for D200 towards Strasbourg-Centre. Follow the signs for the city center, and then navigate to Canton de Strasbourg-1. Parking is available in several public parking lots in the area, with fees typically ranging from €1 to €2 per hour.

• Train

  For those using public transportation, take a train from Metz or Nancy to Strasbourg. Trains are available from both cities and typically run every hour. The journey takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Once you arrive at Strasbourg's main train station (Gare de Strasbourg), exit the station and head towards the tram stop located just outside. Take tram line A in the direction of 'Illkirch-Graffenstaden' and get off at the 'Homme de Fer' stop. From there, it's a 15-minute walk to Canton de Strasbourg-1 where the Tour des Français is located. The tram ticket costs around €1.70.

• Bus

  Alternatively, you can take a bus from nearby towns. For example, if you are in Colmar, take the FlixBus service to Strasbourg, which takes approximately 1 hour. Once you arrive at the Strasbourg bus station, you can take tram line A to 'Homme de Fer' as described above. The FlixBus ticket prices vary but typically start around €5.
