Tour de France Adventure

The Tour de France is the biggest and arguably the greatest race on the Pro Cycling Calendar. Instead of watching it on T.V. this summer come with us and experience the decisive final week of the tour through the Pyrenees, final time trial and circuit on the Champs Elysees. Our tour will take you through quiet villages along our way sampling beer and wine at every opportunity. While we normally focus on Beer it is hard to pass up a tour with wine from Bordeaux and the racing of the Tour De France.
