With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, your finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement. After your pedal to Paris, your last day allows you to explore the sights and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic city!

Course Highlights
Your journey begins with an early start from London, leaving the city behind for the rolling hills and orchards of rural Kent. Crossing the North Downs, you’ll reach Dover before taking the ferry to Calais and cycling to your first overnight stop. Over the next three days, you’ll ride through beautiful French countryside, from coastal roads and historic towns to the peaceful valleys of the Somme. Along the way, you’ll pass landmarks steeped in history, including the site of the Battle of Crécy and poignant First World War memorials, before continuing through charming farming villages and leafy avenues towards Beauvais.
The Final Push to Paris
On your final day in the saddle, you’ll head south towards the French capital, following quiet country roads until the iconic skyline of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur comes into view. Cycling along the River Seine, you’ll finish beneath the arches of the Eiffel Tower — a moment to celebrate your incredible achievement with your fellow riders.
After breakfast the following morning, you’re free to explore Paris before experiencing the electric atmosphere of the Tour de France finale. Whether you choose to watch from the famous Champs-Élysées or soak up the city’s sights, it’s the perfect way to round off an extraordinary London to Paris adventure.
