The 2024 edition of Paris-Nice begins with a tricky stage. The 81st race links the capital to the Riviera town, a loop around the town of Mureaux, 157.7 km long.

The first difficulty overcome in this stage will be the Bazemont hill. The second passage at the top of the Côte d'Herbeville, 12 km from the line, could trap sprinters who have difficulty in the bumps. The finish line will also be difficult to understand with a false flat going up one km.
