Cross the Channel for Marie Curie

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. After our pedal to Paris, our last day allows us to explore the sights and soak up the romantic atmosphere of this majestic city! Check out the Discover Adventure London to Paris Cycle website to find out more about this amazing challenge. Dates
