Royal Marsden London to Paris Cycle


BESPOKE • 4 DAYS

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. Our last day in Paris allows us to explore the sights and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic city!

 

  • An early start allows us to avoid the morning traffic as we pass through the outskirts of London onto quieter roads. We continue
    south towards Croydon, riding through beautiful rolling Surrey countryside and small, quiet villages. As we head further south a
    long climb takes us into Sussex; we then follow rolling roads up and over the beautiful chalk downs and descend into the harbour
    town of Newhaven. We board the ferry and have dinner en-route to Dieppe. Night hotel.    (Dinner on ferry not included)
    Cycle approx 98km (60 miles)
  • We leave the busy port behind, heading southeast and quickly emerge into typical French countryside. Passing a few small villages,
    we ride through the small, 12th-century town of Neufchatel-en-Bray and continue on small roads through farmland and pockets
    of woodland. Most of our route rolls along through this beautiful rural scenery, though there are a few longer climbs. Our day ends
    at Beauvais, a town renowned for its large Gothic cathedral. Night hotel.
    Cycle approx 114km (70 miles)
  • Our final day’s cycling takes us south of Beauvais towards the great capital city. Following small country roads we head towards
    the small town of Meru and continue south through beautiful countryside, with a few steep climbs to test us. As we reach the
    suburbs of Paris we enjoy a flat run-in, looking out for the distinctive landmarks of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré Coeur standing
    out on the skyline. After finishing beneath the lofty arches of the Eiffel Tower, we head to our hotel and get ready for an evening
    of celebrations to mark our achievement. Night hotel.
    Cycle approx 80km (50 miles)

  • After breakfast we head off to the Gare du Nord for our Eurostar train back to St Pancras, where you will be reunited with your
    bike. We say our farewells and head for home.    (Lunch & Dinner not included)

    Please note that this trip does not start and finish in the same location.
