Thibaut Pinot opens his farmhouse to fans during the 2026 Tour de France, offering an exclusive three-night stay. This unique opportunity not only highlights Pinot's beloved Vosges region but also celebrates the Tour's passage through his hometown of Mélisey.
Fans can book their stay on Airbnb and experience the thrill of the Tour firsthand. The 13th stage on July 17 will roll through Mélisey, featuring an intermediate sprint before tackling the grueling Cat. 1 Ballon d'Alsace. Pinot promises an unforgettable experience, which includes paddock access, a ride in an official race car for guests aged 16 and older, and a helicopter view of the race.
Beyond the excitement of the Tour, guests will enjoy life on the farm, where Pinot will showcase his animals and provide a relaxing e-bike ride followed by a picnic by the pond. Since retiring three years ago, Pinot has embraced farming, emphasizing the beauty of rural life.
This initiative not only offers fans a chance to engage with cycling history but also promotes the pastoral charm of the Vosges region. Applications for this one-of-a-kind experience will be open soon, making it an event not to be missed.
