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. 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.
After completing this incredible challenge, you'll have time to explore Paris, take in its famous landmarks and celebrate your achievement before returning home.
This is a fully-supported event, run by Discover Adventure.
