** CANCELLED ** London to Paris Cycle - Tour de France finale


Note: New Date for 2020!

This spectacular event combines the well-established London to Paris Cycle and the Tour de France finale!

Cycling from London to Paris is one of the best cycling experiences in Europe. Add some Tour de France excitement into the mix and you will have enjoyed simply the best road cycling challenge on offer. Arriving in Paris in one large peloton on the day before the Tour finale, the atmosphere will be simply electric!

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.
