A group of cyclists participate in the London to Paris cycling challenge. The Eiffel Tower can be seen in the background.

London to Paris

  • Date: 10 to 14 June 2026, 22 to 26 July 2026, 9 to 13 September 2026
  • Location: London to Paris

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!
