Final statements: I didn't manage to visit all of the TAR places in the vicinity either due to not being able to justify a costly Uber ride there and back (Monaco Heliport, Gorges du Blavet) or public transportation being too tricky and extremely limited for us to plan a return to home base in time (Tete de Chien, Chateau des Alpilles in Saint Remy de Provence), but I am thrilled that I got to explore a majority of the places encountered on the screen now in real life. My travel companion and I went to Nīmes, Cannes, and Toulon in addition to these locations, including various other attractions in these cities, so what is posted is a heavy fraction of what I had visited on our France getaway. Thanks for reading through it if you did and let's see what's in store for 2025.

Quite a thorough visit with some amazing photos.
Thanks! I loved looking through your complete New York tour as well. I know it's way outside of NYC, but will we see Saint Basil Academy from TAR10 making the list in the future?

It's a private boarding school, so there are not many opportunities to visit. I was able to view it from across the Hudson when I toured West Point almost 20 years ago. No photos though.

All that's left of New York State is the Hamptons and Lewiston.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting another Finish Line... season 4's Papago Park!

I retraced the path from the west parking lot to where the finish line was, with the buttes and desert scenery in the background.



The park is a solid location for mountain biking or just exploring on foot (like I did).

As a bonus, one more location you might recognize:



Sun Devil Stadium, now called Mountain America Stadium. Visitors aren't permitted into the upper sections, so I wasn't able to go to the exact location of the clue. Still, it's nice that they offer free entry to the public- certainly not all college stadiums do that.


These places are worth visiting if you ever make a trip out to the Valley of the Sun. Or, even if you just have a long layover at PHX, they're nearby :P
"I would define [culture] as the propensity to respect. The propensity to respect the other, the propensity to respect that which you do not know, the propensity to respect bread, earth, nature, history, and culture, and as a consequence of this, the propensity to respect the self, to dignity.” - AB

TAR 38 location spoiler. Proceed with absolute caution.

I am a massive Yankees fan, so the idea that they might have finished at Yankee Stadium thrills me.
