The 46th edition of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Marseille La Marseillaise will start in Estaque and finish at the Orange Vélodrome stadium.
The first race on the professional calendar in Europe, it also kicks off the Coupe de France.
The greatest teams and champions are expected to take part in the 170 km race. The route will be published soon.

They will then go on to Roquefort-la-Bédoule, take the Pas d'Ouillier (2.3 km at 3.5%) in reverse, cross the Col de la Gineste (7.4 km at 3.2%) before arriving at the Stade Vélodrome, which was not possible for the 2025 edition. The course will run between the east of the Bouches-du-Rhône and the west of the Var. The two mountain classifications will be at Col de l'Espigoulier and Pas de la Couelle. The start is scheduled for 12.30 pm and the finish around 4 pm, for a 149 km race.
