Trip Overview

From the London Eye to the Eiffel Tower in just 24 hours; this itinerary is not for the faint-hearted! In the space of one day, you'll cover circa. 280km by pedal power alone. If you're looking for a challenge that requires true grit and determination, you've found it right here. The feeling of elation when rolling into Paris will be well worth it though, and as you glimpse the Eiffel Tower for the first time, it'll be an experience you'll never forget.

"This was my first time cycling with Adventure Cafe; first time riding from London to Paris and my first time riding this sort of distance over 3 days. Lots of preparation had gone into this from AC prior to departing London."
