London to Paris Cycle various dates in 2011

Cycling the 300km from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe.

Passing through picturesque Kent countryside, the group will cross the Channel and continue through small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France, passing the famous battlefields of the Somme and Agincourt. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, the finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement.

The last day of the trip allows the group to explore the streets of Paris and soak up the atmosphere of the city.
