London to Paris Cycle | September 2024


Cycling from London to Paris is one of the best cycling experiences in Europe. Your journey begins in London with the route taking you through glorious English countryside as you cycle through Kent to Dover, before crossing the Channel to Calais. Once across the water, start cycling ‘French style’, remembering to keep to the right! You will cycle along quiet French country lanes before reaching the spectacular Champs Elysees and the iconic Eiffel Tower.
