This is an ideal start to the cycling holiday season, that takes you from the UK capital to the heart of the most romantic city in Europe. The trip is aimed at regular riders looking for an early season break as well as less experienced cyclists wanting the challenge of riding from London to Paris. The trip starts at Clapham Common, a few miles from the centre of London, and follows a mixture of cycle routes and minor roads to take us out of the city. We are soon in the delightful lanes of southern England, the route taking us through many picturesque villages. After crossing the South Downs we gradually descend to the small town of Newhaven on the shore of the English Channel, where we take the ferry across to France. After arriving at the busy little town of Dieppe we continue through the pleasant countryside of Normandy, with its orchards of apples and pears and distinctive timber framed houses. The route takes us through the Eawy Forest and Lyons la Foret. From the Lyons Forest we descend to the River Seine and continue following the valley all the way to Paris. The route takes you through the little town of Les Andelys and Monet's gardens at Giverney. As we approach Paris the route crosses the river several times, passing through the St Germain Forest and the Bois de Boulogne, to finally arrive at the Eiffel Tower in the heart of Paris We have both the evening and the following day in Paris to give you time to explore the many attractions the city has to offer - the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Montmatre and the Sacre Coeur, Notre-Dame, the Arc de Triomphe and the many other museums, parks and gardens. In the evening we take the Eurostar train from Paris to return to St Pancras in London, where we will meet you with your bicycle. "Really enjoyed the holiday. We thought that the route chosen was superb" (John & Liz, Devon) |
