Tour de France Tours


We have our first sell out situation! Our Alpes-Ventoux guided trip from July 19-26 is full. Not surprisingly really, we expected it to go first. So, there is some good news for readers who might thinking to go:

1. We have a hotel on Lake Annecy that we can offer on a "hotel booking" only basis. 3 Nights, 2 star hotel, 90 euros/person per night including breakfast and dinner daily. It sits about 15km from Annecy center and is directly on the beautiful lake of Annecy. Perfect for viewing the TDF time trial and also riding up to Grand Bornand for the stage finish. Contact me if interested. This will go out in an enews to other subscribers in a few days so not likely to last!

2. Pyrenees to Ventoux: I like this trip and we put it in knowing that it would not sell before the Alpes. It is wide open, but now it is likely to get more attention. I like this trip because it offers challenging cycling in the famous cols of the Pyrenees just after the 09 TDF passes, so the crowds are gone but you can test yourself on the same routes. Then, you can go join the madness at Mont VEntoux for the big finish. Best of both worlds!

3. Provence-Cote d'Azur: We only blocked space for up to 8 persons. It is guided, and is possible for people a little less strong to join and have fun. We will see the opening stages, the team time trial, and of course enjoy the beach and Provencale lifestyle. The price is right too!
