London to Paris Bike Ride

- Cycle 286kms over one long weekend
- Depart from England's bustling capital, London
- Ride through beautiful French countryside
- Celebrate the completion of your challenge at the Eiffel Tower
- Return in comfort on the Eurostar from Paris
Your expedition begins in bustling London city where you will meet the rest of your group and navigate your way through England’s capital and out into the leafy suburbs. You will head towards Godstone and then off on relatively traffic free roads to Newhaven. You then cross by ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe where you can rest after a long day and a great cycling experience.
Your second day is slightly less arduous and affords you the time to get to know your group and form a real team spirit as you journey through the beautiful French countryside.
The penultimate day of your challenge pushes your stamina with 79miles (127kms) of cycling to the French capital and to the foot of the Eiffel Tower. It is here you can celebrate in style with a glass of champagne overlooking the magnificent Seine and under the shade of Paris’s most famous landmark. You will then return home the following afternoon with some well earned comfort on the Eurostar.
