On the first day, the 23rd RAID Suisse-Paris leads from Basel to Nancy, one of the most beautiful cities in France and a stronghold of Art Nouveau. In Nancy, the riders in the "Sport" category set off on the legendary night stage.
The next day, the rally leads through the Belgian province of Luxembourg - a first - and the famous RAID Friday buffet is served in an idyllic castle.
This is followed by largely unknown areas, and the champagne city of Reims is reached on secondary roads. Finally, the destination of the RAID: the Château de Chantilly, one of the famous castles of the Ile-de-France.And the grand finale in Paris: a comfortable coach takes you along the evening Champs-Elysées, the Rue Royale and the grand boulevards to the Place Vendôme for a gala evening in the magnificent Salon Impérial from the time of Napoleon III at the Hotel Westin on the Rue de Castiglione.
