Ricarda Bauernfeind speaks… The 23-year-old Canyon-SRAM rider has become the youngest stage winner at the Tour de France Femmes . Asked in the post-race interview if she realises this, she shakes her head with a mix of joy and shock on her face. “To be honest, I still can’t believe it. It’s incredible,” she says of her win. She praises her team: “I had the support of my teammates, the cars behind and everyone helped and supported me. It was just an incredible team ride. My teammates did such a fantastic job…and then it was up to me. I attacked and it worked out.”
Lippert shares her happiness at the fellow German taking the win, while Reusser says very honestly that on the one hand she had hoped they would catch Baurenfeind, but on the other, she hoped the young Canyon-SRAM rider would ride to victory. And ride to victory she did!
Thanks for joining me on this exciting stage five of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and for all your messages. I’ll be back on the weekend but in the meantime, I’ll leave you in the capable hands of my colleagues for today’s race report and live updates during stage six tomorrow.

She held off Marlen Reusser and @LianeLippert to take stage 5 victory, averaging 44.9km/h over the final 20km in her bid for glory! #TDFF2023 #TDFFdata https://t.co/NfJOlhfTb7 — letourdata (@letourdata) July 27, 2023
My heart is racing after that finish . Baurenfeind really held her nerve there and has bagged herself a well-deserved win. Canyon-SRAM will be very happy – it’s their first win of the Tour de France Femmes 2023.
In those final few hundred metres, Reusser and Lippert seemed to give up the chase as Baurenfeind sailed to victory. The TV coverage has just shown Kopecky, who doesn’t look best pleased…
Ricarda Bauernfeind wins stage five!!
That was brilliant! Baurenfeind managed to hold on and What an incredible ride!
1km to go: Baurenfeind has just passed through the flamme rouge. This is an amazing ride from the 23-year-old. I imagine her team are screaming encouragement over the radio.
2km to go: Reusser and Lippert are 24sec behind Baurenfeind. This is tense…will the young German rider hold on for the win?
4km to go: Bauernfeind is holding on. She has 36sec on the chasers. It’s also just been announced that the Canyon-SRAM has been awarded the most combative rider today. Reusser has gone off the front of the chasing group and Liane Lippert (Movistar) follows.
9km to go: Reusser is drilling it in the chase group and putting her time-trialling skills to use in reducing this gap. It’s now down to 39sec.
11km to go: Reusser is driving the bunch. Either SD Worx have been forced to work or they’re trying to avoid accusations again of not pulling their weight. The gap between the chasers and Bauernfeind is down to 43sec.
15km to go: Canyon-SRAM directeur sportif, Magnus Bäckstedt has passed Bauernfeind an ice-filled tights creation (a very popular way to keep the riders cool in these races – I had the pleasure of seeing a soigneur create a stack of these during last year’s Tour). She places it on her back, under the neckline of her jersey. Bäckstedt also shares some words of encouragement. Keep it going Ricarda!

Ricarda Bauernfeind takes the intermediate sprint
20km to go: Here are the results of the intermediate sprint.
1. Ricarda Bauernfeind (Canyon-SRAM), 25pts 2. Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx), 20pts 3. Ashleigh Moolman Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step), 17pts 4. Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step), 15pts 5. Demi Vollering (SD Worx), 13pts 6. Paula Patiño (Movistar), 11pts 7. Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar), 10pts 8. Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek), 9pts 9. Liane Lippert (Movistar), 8pts 10. Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM), 7pts 11. Elisa Longo Borghini (Lid-Trek), 6pts 12. Marlen Reusser (SD Worx), 5pts 13. Ane Santesteban (Jayco AlUla), 4pts 14. Soraya Paladin (Canyon-SRAM), 3pts 15. Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez), 2pts
22km to go: No surprise, but Bauernfeind was first in the intermediate sprint and first over the summit of the third-category Côte de Monestiés (1.6km at 6.4%). The 23-year-old Canyon-SRAM rider has grabbed two QOM points. Kastelijn is second across the summit and keen to scoop up the all QOM points she can today.
...and finally, Côte de Monestiés: https://t.co/zsi7q8TPwS pic.twitter.com/4UDDJOJUX8 — Strava (@Strava) July 27, 2023
23km to go: Bauernfeind has tucked herself into an aero-dynamic position and pushed away from the peloton. Her lead is up to 1min 33sec. Iris Slappendel on Eurosport thinks the young rider has a good shot at winning today’s stage but also questions whether SD Worx will play a poker game again, like they did when eventually Wiebes took the win on stage three.
Ricarda Bauernfeind takes a 6sec bonus
32km to go: Bauernfeind dropped Steels and takes the bonus point and gains 6sec. Results below: 1. Ricarda Bauernfeind (Canyon-SRAM), 6sec 2. Claire Steels (Israel Premier Tech Roland), 4sec 3. Ashleigh Moolman Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step), 2sec
36km to go: I was about to say that the race to the bonus point will be on shortly, but Ricarda Bauernfeind (Canyon-SRAM) beat me to it. She’s anticipated the fight for the bonus point and shot off with 1km to go. Steels goes with her, while behind them Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step) is leading the chase.
38km to go: It’s a much hotter day for the riders today. The temperature out there is 27.2C. Quite a bit warmer than the wet and windy scenes we saw on stage two. Here are the results from that last climb:
Results at Côte de Laguépie
1. Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck), 3pts 2. Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek), 2pts 3. Marlen Reusser (SD Worx), 1pt
40km to go: Marta Cavalli (FDJ-Suez) ended up too far to the side of the road and ended up doing a little unexpected off-road. The commentators predicted a puncture as a result and just moments later, Cavalli had a wheel change from her team car. She’s now chasing to get back on. Kastelijn is first over the summit and has moved back into the QOM lead.
🇮🇹Gravel moment for @marta_cavalli98 . She has suffered a puncture after it. 🇮🇹Instant cyclo-cross pour @marta_cavalli98 . Elle a subi une crevaison par la suite. #TDFF2023 #WatchTheFemmes @Gozwift pic.twitter.com/oOlORP8TdE — Le Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift (@LeTourFemmes) July 27, 2023
41km to go: With speeds of 70kmph, the riders have been speeding down the descent. They’re going over a narrow bridge and will soon start climbing again. Next up is the third-category Côte de Laguépie: a 1.5km climb with an average gradient of 9% and summit at 298m.
Next up is Côte de Laguépie, approaching nearly a 9% average grade: https://t.co/OPDCuhJejW pic.twitter.com/mL8LuquKE2 — Strava (@Strava) July 27, 2023
47km to go: The leading group have 1min 15sec over the peloton. Movistar are driving the chase in the second group, working to get Emma Norsgaard Bjerg into a better spot. Vos was dropped on that last climb and Koster’s hard work has had an impact on the legs…
49km to go: It looks like Kastelijn wants that poka-dot jersey back. She had her eyes set on the QOM points and is first over the summit. She now matches Koster with 19pts.
Results at Côte de Najac
1. Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck), 3pts 2. Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM), 2pts 3. Marlen Reusser (SD Worx), 1pt
52km to go: The breakaway have been caught on the Côte de Najac. The riders are 1.2km from the summit of this 2.5km climb, which has an average gradient of 7.4%.
54km to go: Lidl-Trek are on the front of the chasing group now. Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) just had a small crash but looks OK and is straight back on her bike. The breakaway’s lead has been reduced to 21sec by the chasing group, which is made up of about 80 riders. The first categorised climb of the day is coming up…
60km to go: SD Worx have had a telling off, and a proper wag of the finger, by one of the commissaires on the motorbike. Eurosport are saying they are on the naughty step and it’ll be a fine for them for drafting Demi Vollering after a back wheel change.
67km to go: Coryn Labecki (Jumbo Visma) has crashed but is back up, grabs a new bike and pedals off. Unlucky for her as she was involved in a crash just a few days ago too. The riders are all over the place. A breakaway group have 46sec and are being chased by the yellow jersey group, while another group that includes Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) is 5min behind the leaders. Behind them, the dropped riders are almost 10mins behind the breakaway group.
71km to go: Peter has emailed in to ask about Uttrup Ludwig. He writes: “Any word on Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig? I really enjoyed her stage win and emotional interview afterward in last year’s tour. For a rider in the top 10, I don’t think I’ve seen or heard about her on the TV coverage once so far this year.” Well, that was great timing Peter. I was just writing an update about her (it’s a couple of posts back) when your email landed in my inbox. Uttrup Ludwig was being interviewed ahead of today’s stage while wearing an ice vest and seemed in good spirits. I also would love to see her take a stage win as the ensuing interview from her would be sure to be spirited and fun.
75km to go: Pilote Fortin has abandoned – she was more than 10mins behind the leaders and struggling. Another rider struggling with stomach issues is Évita Muzic (FDJ-Suez), who has just abandoned. A real shame for her as she came eighth in last year’s Tour.
These riders are taking chunks out of the kms today. It’s been a very fast start and the average speed sits at around 44kmph currently. The peloton are 45sec behind the breakaway. Canyon-SRAM, Fenix-Deceuninck and Ceratizit-WNT are leading the chase.
83km to go: The breakaway have 38sec on the peloton. Gabrielle Pilote Fortin (Cofidis) was dropped earlier in the stage and is 11min behind the leaders. Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ–Suez) spoke to Eurosport ahead of today’s stage. She says she thinks it could be a day for the breakaway given how lumpy the stage is, but she also says it’s going to be a hard day for the GC contenders. “That’s why it’s exciting: it could be both,” she adds with a grin.
92km to go: Of the breakaway group, Steels of Israel Premier Tech Roland is the highest placed in the GC ranking at 2min 44sec behind Kopecky. The peloton are trying to shut down this breakaway quickly: the gap has deceased to just 30sec.

100km to go: The breakaway still have a gap of around 40sec but it has decreased slightly. It would seem that the peloton are keen to bring the breakaway back. Fenix-Deceuninck and EF Education–TIBCO–SVB are at the front of the bunch driving the recovery mission.
106km to go: We have names! The group of 11 riders now have a 45sec gap on the peloton. They include: Paula Patiño (Movistar), Mischa Bredewold (SD Worx), Amber Kraak (Jumbo-Visma), Olivia Baril (UAE Team ADQ), Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez), Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step), Claire Steels (Israel Premier Tech Roland), Hannah Ludwig (Uno X), Clara Koppenburg (Cofidis), Ella Wyllie (Lifeplus Wahoo) and Clara Emond (Arkea). Behind them, it looks like the split groups have come back together to join as one (happy?) peloton.
111km to go: A group of 11 riders have established a breakaway. A counter attack of about 10 riders have an 11sec gap, while the main bunch which now contains the yellow, green and white jersey wearers is 20sec behind the attackers. Also, news just in of another abandon: Kaja Rysz (Lifeplus Wahoo) is out.
115km to go: A fast start and the rolling terrain has created splits in the bunch straightaway. There was also an early attack from an unidentified SD Worx rider (bear with me…live TV coverage doesn’t start for another 20 minutes) but the chasing group has swiftly reeled them back in. Cedrine Kerbaol (Ceratizit-WNT), in the white jersey, is in a second group behind the bunch and the polka-dot jersey wearer, Koster is in a third group.
120km to go: Yesterday, Audrey Cordon-Ragot (Human Powered Health) put in a valiant effort to inch closer to the maillot jaune , but ultimately, was unable to follow Yara Kastelijn (Fenix–Deceuninck) when she attacked at 15km to go.
Speaking on yesterday’s stage, Cordon-Ragot said: “The stage started off well. I learnt that I was the best placed in the GC, so I tried to fight for yellow. With a 10’ lead, you start thinking about it. Yara was simply too good, the strongest team won. I was disappointed, but I had chills the whole day long, it was crazy.”
For a little while yesterday, Cordon-Ragot was the virtual yellow jersey wearer. She’s got a good sense of humour about it and has mocked up a picture of that for our pleasure…

The race has begun on stage five!
123km to go: The race proper is on, but who will be first to attack?
Stage five is underway!
126km to go: The peloton is off. They’ll have a bit of a neutralised zone and then, perhaps, the attacks will start straight away. Or maybe not. I don’t have a crystal ball, sadly.
There are three riders not starting today. As well as Wiebes, Mie Bjørndal Ottestad (Uno-X) and Jenny Rissveds (Team Coop - Hitec Products) have withdrawn from the Tour ahead of stage five. That means that there are 140 riders out on the road today…
Who’s in what jersey?
Lotte Kopecky remains in the maillot jaune , while Anouska Koster will wear the polka-dot jersey. She put in a big effort yesterday to take it away from Julie Van de Velde (Fenix-Deceuninck) and upped her QOM points to 19.
Again, although Kopecky leads in the points classification, it will be Ashleigh Moolman Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step) who wears the green jersey today. Although, the South African rider is third in the standings (92pts), second placed Wiebes’ European champion jersey prevails, hence why we’ll see a green-clad Moolman Pasio.
Yellow: Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) 15hr 47min 25sec
Green: Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) 128pts
Polka-dot: Anouska Koster (Uno-X) 19pts
White: Cedrine Kerbaol (Ceratizit-WNT)

Lorena Wiebes is out of the Tour due to illness
Big news coming in: Wiebes, a favourite for the stage win is not starting today. Her team have released a statement to say that due to suffering from stomach issues, Wiebes consequently can’t start in Onet-Le-Chateau.
Lorena Wiebes is leaving @LeTourFemmes after illness. She’s suffering from stomach issues & consequently can’t start in Onet-Le-Château. "Of course this is a sportive loss for Team SD Worx, ‘cause there were still sprint opportunities. But health always prevails," says Danny Stam pic.twitter.com/gqM1vh9AN6 — Team SD Worx (@teamsdworx) July 27, 2023

Tour de France Femmes: Yara Kastelijn goes on her own to snare stage four win
Stage four report: Time is proving tight between Annemiek van Vleuten and her rival Demi Vollering, the two favourites for final victory in the Tour de France Femmes this year. In an echo of the sparring match that characterised much of the men’s race this year, the Team SD Worx rider Vollering has the upper hand, for now at least and if only by a few seconds.
Yara Kastelijn of the Netherlands won the longest stage of this year’s Tour de France Femmes , from Cahors to Rodez, after spending just under 160 kilometres on the front of the race, much of it in a 14-rider move that went clear on the day’s first climb, the Col de Crayssac.
Stage five: Onet-leChâteau to Albi (126.5km)
Today’s 126.5km stage is surely a day for the sprinters. The parcours would suggest a bunch sprint at the finish line in the historic city of Albi, but race director of the Tour de France Femmes , Marion Rousse thinks otherwise. “The routes are almost ideal for a breakaway,” she says. “So, there are some women out there who could go for victory. Why not?”
She adds: “At the same time, we’re thinking about sprinters who can get over the bumps well – Marianne Vos comes to mind – and who are capable of getting over the final hurdles. Because, it’s far from simple and it’s far from flat. The Laguépie climb in particular: 1.5km at an average gradient of almost 10%…It’s going to be really tricky to get over. So there you have it, the uncertain scenario, whether you’re a daredevil or a sprinter who can handle the bumps.
As well as Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma), Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx) is also a favourite for today’s win. Can Wiebes make it two stage wins in a period of three days at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift? Let’s wait and see. I think it’s going to be an exciting day with some explosive attacks.

Tour de France Femmes 2023: How to watch, TV and live stream details, start times, stage profiles
Published 22/07/2023 at 13:17 GMT
The first edition of the Tour de France Femmes took place in July 2022 as Annemiek van Vleuten triumphed by almost four minutes - even though she had to contend with an illness early on in the much-celebrated race. Marianne Vos took the green jersey in the points classification, while Demi Vollering took the polka dot jersey in the mountain classification. The 2023 edition will be sure to deliver.

Tour de France Femmes 2023 preview: Full schedule and how to watch live women's Grand Tour cycling action
Reigning champion Annemiek van Vleuten is targeting another Tour de France Femmes crown, as the second modern edition of the stage race takes place on 23 July to 30 July. Here is all you need to know before the start in Clermont-Ferrand.
The second edition of the most prestigious stage race on the women’s cycling calendar is billed as being the biggest yet. Tour de France Femmes 2023 is offering a diverse route starting in the highland region of Massif Central and finishing at the foot of the Pyrenees in Pau.
The big question before this year’s race has been whether anyone can challenge defending champion Annemiek van Vleuten , who is also an Olympic gold and silver medallist and four-time world champion.
The 40-year-old Dutchwoman has already claimed La Vuelta Femenina and the Giro d’Italia Donne this season, and victory in the Tour de France Femmes would complete the set of 2023 women's Grand Tour race wins.
22 teams will be at the start line to battle over 8 stages, not just for the yellow leader’s jersey, but also the green points classification jersey, the polka-dot jersey for leader of the mountain classification and the white jersey for the best young rider under 23 years of age.

Riders to watch at the tour de france femmes 2023.
Two-time road race world champion Annemiek van Vleuten is the big favourite for the Tour de France Femmes 2023. In the Giro d’Italia Donne that finished earlier this month, the Olympic time trial champion claimed three stages and won the general classification by almost four minutes to Juliette Labous of France in second place.
The Movistar rider is in the middle of her last season before retiring, but after having claimed both the overall in the Giro d’Italia Donne and La Vuelta Femenina, the defending champion has proved that she isn't finished yet.
Last year, van Vleuten clinched the yellow jersey by taking the last two stages of the Tour de France Femmes. 3 minutes and 48 seconds was the gap to second place Demi Vollering .
The second placed rider from last year’s edition could also be the biggest threat for van Vleuten this year. Vollering completed the Ardennes hat-trick of one-day races earlier this season, winning the Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes.
The 26-year-old SD Worx rider is currently leading the UCI World Rankings, as she has secured an incredible 13 victories already this season, and the Dutch road race champion has taken a big step up since last year’s second place at this race.
At the La Vuelta Femenina, Vollering looked like she was about to be crowned the overall winner, but van Vleuten capitalized on a toilet break and gained more than a minute on the penultimate stage to ultimately win the race.
By the looks of this season’s results, we can hope to see a breathtaking Dutch battle between van Vleuten and Vollering.
Other riders, who potentially can fight for the overall victory are Elisa Longo Borghini of Italy, Juliette Labous of France, and Katarzyna Niewiadoma of Poland.
In the battle for the green jersey, the European road race champion Lorena Wiebes will be the woman to beat. The Dutchwoman has a strong team to support her in SD Worx.
Her 24-year-old compatriot Charlotte Kool of dsm-firmenich has showed earlier this season that she has the top speed to beat Wiebes in a bunch sprint.
Last year’s winner of the green jersey and arguably the greatest female cyclist of all time, Marianne Vos , also needs to be mentioned among the contenders for the points classification.
As the general classification riders will most likely battle it out on the decisive mountain stage to Col du Tourmalet, they will also be the favourites to claim the polka dot jersey after the final stage in Pau.

IVG dans la Constitution : revivez les débats et l’adoption du texte par le Parlement à Versailles
Les députés et sénateurs réunis en Congrès ont voté pour l’inscription de « la liberté garantie à la femme d’avoir recours à une interruption volontaire de grossesse » dans l’article 34 de la Loi fondamentale. Le texte a recueilli 780 voix pour et 72 contre.
- Ce qu’il faut retenir de l’inscription de l’IVG dans la Constitution par le Parlement
- Un vote « historique » : la France est devenue lundi 4 mars le premier pays au monde à inscrire explicitement dans sa Constitution l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG), après une approbation très large du Parlement réuni en Congrès au Château de Versailles, saluée par une longue ovation.
- Le consensus a été massif, avec un vote favorable de 780 parlementaires, contre seulement 72 voix opposées. La majorité des trois cinquièmes des suffrages exprimés, requise pour modifier la Loi fondamentale, a ainsi été atteinte sans difficulté et le sceau du Congrès a été apposé sur le texte dans une salle voisine.
- Ce vote a été largement salué par les élues et associations féministes, qui parlent d’un « jour historique ». « Fierté et émotion. La lutte pour nos droits continue, encore et toujours, » a commenté la députée « insoumise » Mathilde Panot. Une explosion de joie a aussi salué l’annonce du vote devant la tour Eiffel, lieu de rassemblement de militantes féministes et anonymes, où des inscriptions lumineuses comme « #Mon corps mon choix » ont scintillé sur le monument.
- Emmanuel Macron, qui a salué « fierté française » et un « message universel », a annoncé une cérémonie de scellement pour la première fois ouverte au public le 8 mars , Journée internationale des droits des femmes.
- L’inscription de l’IVG dans la Constitution est définitivement adoptée par le Parlement
Les députés et sénateurs réunis en Congrès à Versailles ont voté pour l’inscription de « la liberté garantie à la femme d’avoir recours à une interruption volontaire de grossesse » dans l’article 34 de la Loi fondamentale. Le texte a recueilli 780 voix contre 72, soit bien au-delà du seuil minimal des 512 voix correspondant aux trois cinquièmes des suffrages exprimés.
L’annonce du résutat par Yaël Braun-Pivet a été longuement applaudie dans l’hémicycle. « Je vous remercie, merci pour elles » , a lancé la présidente de l’Assemblée Nationale aux parlementaires.
Ultime formalité symbolique : le sceau de l’Etat a été apposé sur le document.

Ce live est maintenant fermé.
Nous vous remercions de l’avoir suivi. Vous pouvez retrouver tous les articles du Monde sur le droit à l’avortement ici .
Bonjour, Ou est ce que je peux trouver la liste de qui a voté quoi?
Bonjour Chev,
Vous trouverez ci-dessous un tableau fait par Les Décodeurs pour connaître le vote de chacun des élus, qu’il soit député ou sénateur.
Mathilde Panot (LFI) annonce le dépôt d’une résolution pour protéger le droit à l’IVG au niveau européen
Dans la foulée de l’inscription de l’IVG dans la Constitution, la cheffe des députés La France insoumise (LFI), Mathilde Panot, a annoncé le dépôt d’un texte pour enjoindre au gouvernement de faire inscrire ce droit dans la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne.
« Nous allons fêter une victoire historique et dès demain nous allons repartir au combat » , a lancé la députée devant les journalistes, visiblement émue après le vote de 780 des parlementaires réunis à Versailles. Mathilde Panot avait déjà porté à l’Assemblée un premier texte de constitutionnalisation de l’IVG, adopté par les députés.
Sa proposition de résolution, qui n’aurait pas de valeur contraignante en cas d’adoption, appelle le gouvernement à « se mobiliser diplomatiquement auprès des Etats membres de l’Union et de la Commission européenne afin que la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne garantisse le droit à l’avortement » .
La sénatrice écologiste Mélanie Vogel a aussi plaidé après le vote au Congrès pour porter ce droit au niveau européen, et l’inscrire dans la Charte des droits fondamentaux, une proposition soutenue par les sénateurs socialistes.
Rachida Dati salue « un point d’appui pour toutes les femmes »
« En pérennisant la promesse de Simone Veil : à chacune la liberté de décider de son propre destin, la France donne l’exemple », a écrit Rachida Dati, la ministre de la culture, sur X , ajoutant : « L’inscription de ce droit à l’IVG dans la Constitution sera un point d’appui pour toutes les femmes qui, à travers le monde, luttent pour vivre libre. »
Les réactions politiques se multiplient, à gauche comme à droite
« Au moment où est votée cette inscription du droit à l’IVG dans la Constitution, reviennent en mémoire ces années où c’était un crime. Où des femmes mouraient, où les jeunes vivaient dans la hantise de devoir y recourir. Et à toutes celles et ceux qui ont porté ce combat. Enfin triomphe l’humanisme : une aptitude biologique n’est plus un destin social », a réagi Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader de LFI, sur X.
« La France inscrit le droit à l’avortement dans la Constitution après un vote historique. Fierté et émotion. La lutte pour nos droits continue, encore et toujours », a pour sa part réagi Mathilde Panot, présidente du groupe LFI à l’Assemblée nationale.
Du côté des Républicains, le président du groupe Eric Ciotti a posté : « J’ai voté en faveur de la constitutionnalisation de l’IVG. Cette liberté essentielle pour les femmes est désormais gravée dans le marbre de notre Constitution et c’est une excellente nouvelle ! »
« De l’Assemblée au Sénat, chacun a progressé. La liberté des femmes à disposer de leur corps sera gravée dans le marbre commun. La France est à la hauteur de son message universel », abonde Aurélien Pradié, député LR.
« Quelle émotion !! Journée historique pour la France, premier pays à inscrire l’accès à l’IVG dans sa Constitution » , a commenté sur X Corinne Narassiguin, sénatrice socialiste de la Seine-Saint-Denis. « Les droits des femmes sont un combat jamais terminé. Fière d’avoir contribué avec les socialistes à cette avancée essentielle. »
Olivier Faure a voté « POUR celles qui se battent partout dans le monde pour leur liberté »
« POUR Gisèle Halimi, Simone Veil, Yvette Roudy, POUR les féministes anonymes, les associations du MLF au @leplanning , POUR toutes les femmes décédées, jugées, condamnées, POUR celles qui se battent partout dans le monde pour leur liberté », écrit le député socialiste Olivier Faure sur X , dans un texte accompagné d’une photo de lui plaçant son bulletin dans l’urne.
Bonjour, je ne vois pas de garantie quant à la durée légale pour pratiquer une IVG. Un gouvernement ultérieur pourrait-il par exemple réduire le délai légal à quelques semaines tout en restant dans le cadre constitutionnel ?
Bonsoir Crazynurse,
Le délai de recours possible à l’IVG est effectivement déterminé par la loi. Il est donc possible qu’un futur gouvernement et une future majorité reviennent sur ce délai. Toutefois, une réduction trop importante de ce délai pourrait risquer de contrevenir à la « liberté garantie à la femme d’avoir recours à une interruption volontaire de grossesse » (telle que le précise nouvellement la Constitution) et pourrait donc être censurée par le Conseil constitutionnel s’il juge la loi contraire aux dispositions inscrites dans la Loi fondamentale.
Gabriel Attal salue « une deuxième victoire pour Simone Veil et pour toutes celles qui ont ouvert la voie »
« Aujourd’hui, la France a adressé un message historique au monde entier : le corps des femmes leur appartient et personne n’a le droit d’en disposer à leur place » , s’est félicité Gabriel Attal sur X . « C’est une deuxième victoire pour Simone Veil et pour toutes celles qui ont ouvert la voie. »
Qu’est-ce que la cérémonie de scellement ?
Après le vote du Congrès qui a inscrit l’IVG dans la Constitution, Emmanuel Macron a annoncé une cérémonie de scellement pour la première fois ouverte au public le 8 mars, Journée internationale des droits des femmes.
Prolongement d’une tradition française qui remonte aux Mérovingiens, le scellement se déroule au ministère de la justice. Après la cérémonie prévue vendredi à midi, place Vendôme, à Paris, le texte sera baptisé « Loi constitutionnelle du 8 mars 2024 ».
La presse qui permet d’y procéder – une machine de 300 kilos, qui avait été commandée en 1810 par Cambacérès – se trouve d’ailleurs en permanence dans le bureau du garde des sceaux, aujourd’hui Eric Dupond-Moretti. Destinée historiquement à garantir l’authenticité d’un écrit, l’apposition du sceau ne constitue plus une obligation pour assurer la validité d’une loi. Elle a été remplacée par la publication au Journal officiel . Cependant, l’arrêté du 8 septembre 1848 définissant la forme du sceau n’a jamais été abrogé.
Il y a eu depuis 1946 quatorze « scellements » de lois. Il s’agissait presque toujours de révisions de la Constitution. Un texte de grande portée symbolique comme celui du 9 octobre 1981 abolissant la peine de mort a également été scellé.
Explosion de joie devant la tour Eiffel
Une explosion de joie a salué l’annonce du vote pour l’inscription dans la Constitution de l’avortement, devant la tour Eiffel, lieu de rassemblement de militantes féministes et d’autres, lundi en fin d’après-midi.
A 18 h 49, la tour Eiffel a scintillé, les fumigènes violets ont été déclenchés et les centaines de personnes présentes sur l’esplanade du Trocadéro, où un écran géant retransmettait le Congrès, depuis Versailles, ont poussé des cris de joie, alors qu’était diffusé à plein régime le tube de la chanteuse Beyoncé Run the World (Girls) .
Le journaliste indépendant Clément Lanot a diffusé des images de cette scène sur la place du Trocadéro sur X, que voici.
Historique. Formidable. Grande émotion. Merci à Simone Veil, merci à toutes les femmes qui ont mené ce combat. Fière d'elles et de la France ce soir. Bravo!
C'est un grand pas pour la France. Et c'est tant mieux car ça manquait ces temps-ci.
J'ai pleuré des larmes de joie à l'annonce des résultats. Moment très émouvant.
Liberté Égalité Sororité
Peut-on connaître les 72 votes contre ?
Bonjour Enfin une bonne nouvelle,
Oui, le scrutin est public et vous pouvez retrouver le détail des votes ici : 72 parlementaires ont voté contre la constitutionnalisation de l’IVG, soit 38 sénateurs et 12 députés des Républicains, 11 députés du Rassemblement national, 6 sénateurs du groupe Union centriste, 1 députée du groupe LIOT, 1 sénateur du Rassemblement des démocrates, progressistes et indépendants (RDPI), 2 députés et 1 sénateur non inscrits.
Emmanuel Macron salue une « fierté française » et un « message universel »
« Fierté française, message universel » , a réagi Emmanuel Macron sur X après le vote du Parlement à Versailles. « Célébrons ensemble l’entrée d’une nouvelle liberté garantie dans la Constitution par la première cérémonie de scellement de notre histoire ouverte au public. Rendez-vous ce 8 mars, Journée internationale des droits des femmes. »
L’entrée de l’IVG dans la Constitution, un « moment historique »
Les historiennes ou les militantes sont nombreuses à saluer une étape importante des luttes féministes. Cette inscription consacre, un demi-siècle après l’adoption de la loi Veil en 1974, la liberté des femmes à disposer de leur corps.
Retrouvez leurs analyses dans ce décryptage de Solène Cordier pour Le Monde :

Le contexte
Live animé par Louise Vallée
- Le Parlement se réunissait, lundi 4 mars, en Congrès à Versailles pour voter l’inscription du droit à l’avortement dans la Constitution. Si la Loi fondamentale interdit au président de la République de participer à un débat suivi d’un vote au Congrès, Emmanuel Macron a déjà rappelé qu’il s’était « engagé à rendre irréversible la liberté des femmes de recourir à l’IVG en l’inscrivant dans la Constitution » .
- Adopté à une écrasante majorité par l’Assemblée nationale, le projet de révision constitutionnelle a reçu, mercredi dernier, le soutien de 267 sénateurs, contre 50, au Palais du Luxembourg, après plus de trois heures de discussions parfois agitées dans cet hémicycle habituellement très apaisé. Le projet de révision doit inscrire dans le marbre constitutionnel la « liberté garantie à la femme d’avoir recours à une interruption volontaire de grossesse » . Pour être définitivement adopté, ce projet de révision devait obtenir la majorité des trois cinquièmes des suffrages exprimés au Congrès.
- Le Congrès était retransmis en direct sur la place du Trocadéro, à Paris. Par ailleurs, une manifestation était organisée à Versailles, dès 15 heures, par le collectif anti-avortement Marche pour la vie.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)
Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.
Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.
Tours to Moscow
Our Moscow tours are land only meaning that you arrange your own air travel to Russia and our expert staff meets you at the airport and handles everything else from there. Our online Airline Ticket booking system offers some of the most competitive rates to Russia available on the web so if you need tickets, please visit our Russian air ticket center .

Moscow, a City Like No Other
Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.
Moscow Tours centering on Russian History
Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.
Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers
What is the best time to visit moscow.
Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide
How many days are enough in Moscow?
If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.
Do they speak English in Moscow?
As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.
Is it safe to travel to Moscow?
It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .

Tour de France Femmes Vom Eiffelturm in die Vogesen: Am Berg wird die Tour entschieden
Stand: 18.07.2022 08:47 Uhr
Dieses Jahr findet erstmals wieder eine Tour de France für Frauen statt. Über acht Etappen führt die Rundfahrt vorbei an Weinbergen und Schotterpisten in die Vogesen.
Sie ist das Highlight im Wettkampfkalender der weiblichen Radsport-Elite, die Neuauflage der T our de France für die Frauen, welche über acht Tage (24.-31.07.) durch den Nordosten Frankreichs führen wird. Mehr als 1.000 Kilometer werden die Fahrerinnen am Ende der acht Etappen in den Beinen haben: Dabei geht es von Paris über die Champagner -Stadt Reims , vorbei an den Weinbergen rund um Bar-sur-Aube , in die Vogesen, wo nach der Bergankunft auf dem legendären Planche des Belles Filles die erste offizielle Tour-Siegerin seit mehr als 30 Jahren feststehen wird.
Die ersten Tage: Einladung an die Sprinterinnen
Nur wenige Stunden, bevor die Männer von ihrer dreiwöchigen Frankreich-Rundfahrt in Paris eintreffen, fällt der Startschuss zur Frauen-Tour am Fuße des Eiffelturms. Von dort aus geht es in einem Rundkurs zwölfmal über die Champs-Élysée . Der berühmte Prachtboulevard ist teilweise mit Kopfstein gepflastert, deshalb werden im Kampf um das heißbegehrte erste Gelbe Trikot der Tour die Sprinterinnen im Vorteil sein, die ihre Stärke sonst bei den Frühjahrsklassikern ausspielen.
Wie der erste ist auch der zweite 136 Kilometer lange Abschnitt eine Flachetappe und somit eine Einladung an die Sprinterinnen. Zwar wartet nach rund 15 Kilometern ein Anstieg auf das Peloton , danach führt die Strecke aber durch weitestgehend flaches Terrain nach Provins in der Region Île-de-France .
Ab Reims: Schotterpisten und knackige Anstiege
Auf der dritten Etappe von Reims nach Épernay wird es erstmals richtig hügelig. Insgesamt fünf Bergwertungen gilt es zu gewinnen: Die erste bereits nach knapp 21 Kilometern, alle weiteren folgen in der zweiten Hälfte der Etappe. Die Vorentscheidung auf den Tagessieg fällt wohl am Côte de Mutigny , einem mit 900 Metern zwar kurzen, aber dank seiner Steigung von 12,1 Prozent steilen Anstieg. Ausreißversuche sind zwar möglich, dennoch haben sogenannte Puncheure , also Fahrerinnen, welche auf kurzen, aber knackigen Anstiegen über einen starken Antritt verfügen, die besten Chancen.

Die Etappenprofile der Tour de France Femmes
Anders als die Männer haben die Frauen keinen Ruhetag, und so steht tags darauf schon die nächste Bewährungsprobe an. Denn um das 126 Kilometer entfernte Bar-sur-Aube zu erreichen, müssen sie nicht nur etliche Bergwertungen, sondern auch die berühmten " chemins blancs ", weiße Schotterpisten, bewältigen. Zum ersten Mal gilt: Man kann hier die Tour nicht gewinnen, dafür aber verlieren.
Die perfekte Gelegenheit, Zeit im Gesamtklassement gut zu machen oder den Tagessieg in einer Ausreißergruppe zu holen, bietet die fünfte Etappe. Diese ist zwar mit 175 Kilometern die längste der Tour, aber im Vergleich zu den Tagen zuvor geradezu erholsam.
In den Vogesen warten die Bergetappen
Die Tour der Frauen startet flach und wird im Verlauf immer hügeliger, in den Vogesen angekommen warten auf die Fahrerinnen nun aber die wahren Berge. Während der sechste Abschnitt nach Rosheim noch zum Eingewöhnen da ist, muss das Peloton am nächsten Tag richtig in die Vollen gehen. Es folgt nämlich die Königsetappe, welche über 127 km und drei Berge zur Ski-Station Markstein führt.
Und das sind nicht irgendwelche Berge. Der 1.343 Meter hohe Grand Ballon war bereits neunmal Teil der Männer-Tour, zuletzt 2019. Mehr als 900 Höhenmeter müssen die Frauen nun bewältigen. Davor stehen aber noch Anstiege zum Petit Ballon sowie dem Col du Platzerwasel auf dem Programm. Verschnaufpausen sind kaum möglich. Die Vorentscheidung um das Gelbe Trikot könnte also auf dieser ersten Bergetappe fallen.
Auf der achten Etappe, die nach 123 Kilometern in einer Bergankunft auf dem altehrwürdigen Planche des Belles Filles gipfelt, könnte das begehrte Gelbe Trikot aber noch einmal die Besitzerin wechseln. Auch die endgültige Trägerin des Bergtrikots dürfte erst dort gekürt werden.
Kritik: Tour-Neuauflage ohne Zeitfahren
Ein Zeitfahren findet bei der Neuauflage der Tour de France Femmes nicht statt. Eine Entscheidung, welche Fahrerinnen wie Olympiasiegerin Lisa Brennauer, Annemiek van Vleuten und Co. kritisieren. So riefen sie in den sozialen Medien Rennveranstalter sowie den Radsport-Weltverband UCI dazu auf, wieder mehr Zeitfahren in den Wettkampfkalender aufzunehmen.
Doch auch ohne Zeitfahr-Wettbewerb bietet die diesjährige Tour de France Femmes abwechslungsreiche Strecken, die im Verlauf des Rennens immer anspruchsvoller werden und für jeden Fahrertypen etwas bereithalten.

Tour de France Femmes: Lotte Kopecky goes solo to win stage 1
Belgian champion takes first yellow jersey with show of force from SD Worx
Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) added to her superb palmares, claiming the opening stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in Clermont-Ferrand with a powerful solo attack on the late climb on the stage.
The Belgian champion leapt away before the Côte de Durtol with 9.6km to go and never looked back.
With teammate and race favourite Demi Vollering disrupting the chase behind and the peloton in pieces, Kopecky sailed to the first maillot jaune of the race.
"It will be something very special and I really look forward to it," Kopecky said of wearing the yellow jersey on Monday.
"It was something that was on my mind already quite a long time," Kopecky said. "I was joking with my best friends, every day we texted each other saying '10 kilometres til yellow'.
"It's amazing that I can also just do it - this final climb I had the feeling I had something left and I just went. I thought probably someone would follow but nobody could follow. Once I was over the top I knew it was mostly downhill and thought if I could just keep my power they could not catch me back."
The two-time Tour of Flanders winner also added the points jersey and polka dot climber's jersey to her collection.
Lorena Wiebes won the sprint from the chasing group behind to make it an SD Worx 1-2 on the stage. Last year's points classification winner Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) was a close fourth.
"We had two strategies because we had Lorena - if she could get over the climb we would go for Lorena in the bunch sprint. But I also had my chance to go and they gave me this chance - I'm happy for the team SD Worx that I could finish it off.
Kopecky and Wiebes have together been part of an SD Worx 1-2 four times this season, and with Vollering another three. The dominance of the team has been incredible even for Kopecky.
"In the team, we are really laughing about it - we don't understand it ourselves so many races we are 1 and 2. This year we have a super strong and super good team together. It's super nice to race like this."
How it unfolded
The opening stage at the Tour de France Femmes, a 123.8km that started and finished in Clermont-Ferrand, skirted around the famed Puy de Dôme but did not venture up the ascent.
It offered the peloton an undulating route into an intermediate sprint at Saint-Hippolyte and a category 3 ascent at Durtol before a nine kilometre descent and fast run-in to the finish.
The peloton lined up under warm temperatures in Clermont-Ferrand, 32°C, with many riders were wearing ice vests as they waited under the sun for the race to begin. Ahead of the stage, there were questions surrounding whether the opener would end in a bunch sprint or if the GC battle would kick off over the Côte de Durtol, denying the sprinters a chance at the first yellow jersey.
The peloton stayed largely together for the opening 25km, perhaps indicating some apprehension among the field ahead of the more challenging final 25km of the stage. Typhaine Laurance (Lifeplus Wahoo) made the first attack and was chased by Amandine Fouquenet (Arkea) but by 78.4km to go the race was back together for another 30km.
Marta Lach (Ceratizit-WNT) eventually broke the stalemate and created some daylight between herself and the field, slipping off the front with 45.4km to go. She quickly built a lead out to 50 seconds heading into the intermediate sprint in Saint-Hippolyte, but was caught before she could claim any points toward the green jersey.
A tangle of wheels forced India Grangier (Team Coop-Hitec) and Amber Pate (Jayco AlUla) off their bikes momentarily, but both riders were back up and in the field with 30km to the finish.
Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) led the peloton across the sprint line ahead of Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal-Quickstep) but with a tough climb still to come the pace was too high for any more escapes.
Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) made the first move on the climb, purportedly to nab the polka dot jersey, but her solo attack with 9.6km to go was powerful and supported by her teammates nullifying the chase behind.
She then time trialed to the finish, winning by a significant 41 seconds. With the time bonuses, Kopecky leads Wiebes by 45 seconds with Kool in third at 47. Vos was the last rider to finish ahead of a small gap to Moolman-Pasio in the sprint, and sits in fourth at 51 seconds with the AG Insurance Soudal-Quickstep rider fifth at 53 seconds.
