Beyond sport, Paris-Roubaix Hauts-de-France is committed to supporting sustainable mobility. Cycling is the most environmentally friendly way to get around and is perfectly in keeping with the policy of the Tour de France: Riding into the future
Eco-Responsibility
Sustainable Mobility
- Electric mobility is the obvious choice for the organisation's vehicle fleet. The 50 vehicles that make up the fleet are plug-in hybrids. Paris-Roubaix Hauts-de-France encourages the fans to come support the riders by bike, carpooling, train or public transportation. Find here the list of train stations and public transportation near the route.
Waste Management
- Collection zones: riders will have specific collection zones to dispose of their waste, which will be cleaned by the organisation.
- Two environmental coordinators will be deployed in Roubaix to assist the host community, organizing teams, and the public in waste sorting before and during the event. Additionally, one environmental coordinator will be present in Compiègne.
Natural heritage
Zones Natura 2000
- Respect for the environment and the preservation of biodiversity are priorities in the organisation of Paris-Roubaix Hauts-de-France. The BIOTOPE research firm has been assisting the organisers since 2011 in carrying out Natura 2000 (European network of remarkable protected natural spaces) impact studies. In 2026, the race will go through 4 sensitive areas. Special care will go towards protecting the Trouée d'Arenberg, which is both a Natura 2000 zone and a listed site.
Commitments to inclusion
Sport dans la Ville :
- Paris-Roubaix Hauts-de-France supports the Sport dans la Ville association, which helps young people to play an active part in their social and professional integration through sport. For the 4rd year, young people from disadvantaged areas of the north of France will be invited to attend the finish of the race at the legendary Velodrome and to find out more about the world of sports events.
