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.

why cycle FOR aFRICAN CHILDREN’S fUND?
Seemingly small donations enable our partners to minimise school absence and improve outcomes for children, leading to improved opportunities into adulthood:
£12 provides a girl in Tanzania with reusable sanitary towels and access to social education forums so she won't miss one week in four of her schooling;
£20 covers the cost of a care pack for an orphaned family in Zimbabwe so they children concentrate on learning rather than working;
£90 pays for a mug of porridge for 1,000 children in Kenya, reducing the need for working, scavenging or begging for food;
£250 supports a social worker in Uganda, to resettle a child rescued from the streets with a family.
