The Tour de France rolls into Thonon-les-Bains

On Tuesday, 21 July 2026, Thonon-les-Bains hosted the finish of the 16th stage of the Tour de France, an individual time trial between Évian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains. A major sporting event that put the city in the spotlight, in front of thousands of spectators on site and millions of cycling fans around the world. For Golden Palace, this stage held a special significance, as Thonon-les-Bains is the location where one of our future French casinos will open its doors by the end of the year, marking a new milestone in the Group's development.

Cycling: a shared passion

The Tour de France finish also echoes Golden Palace's commitment to the world of cycling through its partnership with the Alpecin – Premier Tech team. Throughout the season, the Golden Palace News logo proudly features on the riders' jerseys and benefits from visibility during some of the biggest competitions on the cycling calendar, including the Tour de France. Beyond the visibility offered by this partnership, this collaboration is built on shared values: the pursuit of performance, self-improvement and the strength of teamwork.

Building a lasting presence

Combining local development with commitment to sport, Golden Palace continues to build connections with communities and events that bring people together. The Tour de France finish in Thonon-les-Bains therefore represents a symbolic moment for the Group: a city brought into the spotlight by a major sporting event, as Golden Palace prepares to write a new chapter in its history there.
