France - Tour De France

Experience the best of the Tour de France and enjoy some wonderful cycling through the Alps, Provence and Pyrenees. Adventure Travel have been leading cycling trips to the Tour de France for over 10 years. You don’t need to be a professional rider. In fact, we cater mainly for the weekend warrior. Every day we offer the choice of three rides which vary in length and difficulty. Generally they’re 40km, 80km and 100km plus. Usually our cycling day intercepts the great race. We like you to see a race start, finish and time trial however our main goal is for you to see the riders up close on some of Europe’s classic climbs.

You will get the opportunity to ride the likes of Mont Ventoux, Alpe d’Huez and Col du Tourmalet. We stay in quality French hotels and are supported by a bus as well as a van. Yes, non riding partners are welcome. Our guides include Adventure Travel’s Karl Woolcott who is a cycling nut, he’s guided over in France the last three years. We also make sure we have a travelling mechanic so there’s no excuse for you not reaching the top of the world’s most famous cycling mountains.

Adventure Travel can also take care of your airfares and post Tour de France arrangements. We know the airlines that are bike friendly. It really is an amazing holiday and you’ll get home knowing that you’ve achieved something.
