Lance is Back

New blog starting; transferring content from the Discover France Adventures blog over to this for when it pertains to Challenge Tours in France.


Yes, OMG, Lance has announced his return! Its great news for cycling fans and travel companies for sure. Since the rumor on Monday and the official news on Tuesday, our inquiries for going to see the Tour in 2009 have taken a 5 fold increase in a few days.
So, to add momentum to the mounting frenzy, here is the best place to get info on the 2009 Tour - what we know for the moment:

The Tour will start in Monaco on July 4th and do a 2nd stage on July 5th. Team presentations and lots of activities will preceed the July 4th start. The first 2 stages will be impressive with a beautiful seaside city of royalty hosting including the use of part of the Monaco Grand Prix course. Oh, and it isn't flat on that coastline!
The rest of the route remains a mystery until it is announced officially at the end of October in Paris. We are making advance preparations, including the blocking of space, but there is still time to quote and book private group trips. There are a number of ways to see the Tour, and we have some ideas on how to do it without it being too exhausting.
All of our tours for 2009 at the "French Grand Tour" will be cycling tours. We have no plans to offer spectator tours. Contact us if you have a private group and want to quote a program, or if you want to join a group and need details about what will be available.
