Cycling Challenges

London to Paris  

Trip Grade: Moderate

Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe. Passing through picturesque Kent countryside, we cross the Channel and continue through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France, passing the famous war cemeteries at Noordepeene and Gauchin. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, our finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement. Our last day allows us to explore the streets of Paris and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic city!
