2023: LONDON-PARIS

“The bomb for Tour de France junkies born without the right genes.” Editor, Ride Magazine, SA

The LONDON-PARIS is an official Tour de France event.

Cycle fully supported on closed roads arriving the day before the Tour de France finish. Or take the path less travelled, and ride to Paris off road on our new gravel adventure.

Then, relish a once in a lifetime experience for any Tour de France fan, with the option to ride the closed course ahead of the pros.

Starting at the Palace of Versailles, you’ll ride the final 30km section through central Paris, accompanied by an official Tour de France race escort, before completing a lap of the Champs-Élysées with finish line photo. And the icing on the cake … you can then watch the peloton charge around the iconic cobbles with an open bar and front row seating.
