Cycle from London to Paris for CHAS – Tour de France Edition!
InternationalJoin CHAS for a once-in-a-lifetime cycling adventure from London to Paris, finishing in the heart of the French capital just before the world-famous Tour de France reaches its thrilling conclusion.
We'll spend 4 days in the saddle, cycling from capital to capital. Our journey begins in London, with our route taking us through glorious English countryside as we cycle from Kent to Dover, before crossing the Channel and continuing through the rolling green fields of Northern France, where we pass the war memorials and cemeteries of the Somme. A spectacular finish awaits us as we reach the home stretch around the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysées, before reaching the pièce de résistance, the Eiffel Tower, which marks our finish line.
