Day 5
Free morning in Paris, before catching the Eurostar to London where you are re-united with your bicycle. If you're on our Tour de France finale date, you'll spend the day watching the greats cycle into Paris before making your own way to Gare du Nord to catch the evening Eurostar to London where you are re-united with your bicycle. Please note, this is a complex itinerary and subject to change.
We’ll spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling over 300 miles from capital city to capital city.
Our adventure starts in London, taking us through glorious English countryside on our route from Kent to Dover.
Once across the channel, we start cycling through France, remembering to keep to the right! We bike along quiet country lanes, through traditional market towns with views of the rolling green hills of Northern France, passing the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme.
A breathtaking finish awaits us as we reach the home stretch, cycling around the Arc de Triomphe and along the Champs Elysées, before reaching the piece de resistance, the Eiffel Tower!
The cycling may get tough but the sense of achievement we’ll feel crossing the finish line and the euphoric atmosphere as we celebrate our achievements in this magnificent capital, the saddle soreness soon wears off!
Join us, join in! Rejoignez-nous! Se joindre à!
