An early start from Kingston-on-Thames will take you around the
outskirts of London, riding out through beautiful Surrey and West
Sussex villages on quieter roads. Heading further south, over
to the hills of the South Downs and into the harbour town of Newhaven,
where you will board your ferry to Dieppe.
You will enjoy an evening meal on board and stay overnight in
our hotel in Dieppe. Cycle approx 60 miles.
After a hearty breakfast you will be riding out of Dieppe along
the coast before heading inland to the beautiful Saane Valley
that cuts through the low-lying hills. You will pass through stunning
countryside and picturesque villages before crossing the Seine
river. Your finishing point for the day will be at Lisieux where
you will stay overnight in a hotel.
Cycle approx 88 miles
Leaving the old town of Lisieux behind, you will head due east
through rolling farmland and villages to Brione on the banks of
the River Risle. After passing through the forests to Beaumont,
the afternoon’s ride will take you north of Evreux to your
final destination of Vernon, where you will stay for your final
night before arriving in Paris. Cycle approx 72 miles
Your final day of cycling will take you along the Seine to Brevail,
from here you will continue on a slightly larger road until reaching
the outskirts of Paris. As you reach the suburbs, the distinctive
landmarks of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre Coeur will be visible
on the skyline. The locals are sure to encourage you every step
of the way as they stop and cheer you on. After your finish at
the Eiffel Tower, our celebration meal will commence! Cycle approx
65 miles
After breakfast you are free for the rest of the day. You’ll
be able to sight see or simply sit in a local café and
watch the world go by before meeting back at Gare Du Nord for
the Eurostar back to the UK.
