Cycle London to Paris
Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe, especially when you can see the end of the Tour de France when you hit Paris! Take on this classic fundraising challenge with our friends at Discover Adventure. Passing through picturesque Kent countryside, you'll cross the Channel and continue through small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, knowing you are helping Samaritans answer calls for help will spur you on. The sight of the Eiffel Tower, your finishing point after 300 miles, gives a real sense of achievement.
Duration & Date
5 Days: 10th-14th Jun, 22-26 July, 9th-13th Sep 2026
