Cyclists and Spectators
Our tour is suitable for both cyclists of any level and non-cycling spectators. The hotel we stay at is in a excellent location with the world-renowned French cuisine we all enjoy so much.
Our daily, guided rides give cyclists the opportunity to ride some of the most beautiful climbs that feature on this year’s Tour de France.
We will also provide plenty of opportunity for spectators to enjoy time away from the Tour de France with scheduled visits to local towns and villages like Lourdes and Pau.

Day Five - Loudenvielle
Date
Location
Today’s stage will see the Tour move out of the Pyrenees with a stage from Loudenvielle to Plateau de Beille. Bastille day is always special with large crowds supporting the riders and a party atmosphere everywhere.
After an early breakfast we will travel to Loudenveille at the bottom of the first climb of the day, the Peyresourde where we will find a good parking spot for the coach, and we will watch the riders get ready for the start. After we’ve seen the stage start, we will offer a guided ride back to Aucun. An option is to ride yesterday’s stage in reverse so return to the hotel via the Hourquette d’Ancizan and the other side of the Tourmalet. This evening we will watch the Euros final at the hotel. It may feature France who will be very keen to win on Bastille day.
Dinner will be at the hotel.
