Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe. Passing through the picturesque Kent countryside, you cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France, passing the famous battlefields of the Somme and Agincourt.

With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, the finishing point, will leave you with a real sense of achievement.

The last day in Paris allows you to explore the city’s streets and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic place!
