Our trips are designed for anyone with an interest in cycling who wants to see the biggest of the Grand Tours, the Tour de France. This is our focus for our trips however we will combine it with great cycling along the course, classic roads and climbs of past Tours de France as well as some beautiful French countryside. There will also be some sightseeing opportunities.
We cater for cyclists of all abilities by providing riding different options each day. All our rides are escorted and they vary from “serious” to “relaxed”. We ride on quiet scenic roads and where possible we ride on the race course ahead of the race. Our trips will usually offer a visit to a start, a finish and some stages out on the road possibly including a feed zone.
We do endeavour to limit the travelling but this is the “Tour of France” and it is a big country. We stay in our hotels for multiple nights where ever possible so you can relax and savour the locations.
We also cater for people who do not ride bikes with visits to the race and other attractions but an interest in seeing the Tour de France is important as it is the main focus of the trip. We travel to stage finishes and to the base of the mountains so that the course is only a short walk away.
We meet the cyclists at specific points: stage finishes, villages at the base of the final climb, so you will get to see your partner during the day and spend time with them if you wish!
We also stay in towns where non cyclists can choose to stay and do tourist walks and shop or just relax if they wish. Each year we had a number of non cyclists who enjoy the trip.
