Day by Day
1. Bienvenue à Paris!
Those arriving in the early afternoon can make a first visit of the Ville Lumière.
2. Paris – Cergy (55 km)
Au revoir Paris! Starting from Notre Dame you can follow the Axe Historique from the Louvre with the Champs Elysées through the Arc de Triomphe till the new Défense district. After Nanterre, you will come to the islands and parks so dear to the impressionists, once a destination for Sunday trips, somewhere to spend the afternoon “en plein air” on a boat between the Seine and the Marne. Welcome to the Promenade Bleue in Paris!
3. Cergy – Gisors (60 km)
Your journey continues through the heart of the Vexin natural park, home to picturesque towns, castles and farmhouses. After Théméricourt and its spectacular Maison du Parc, you continue to Villarceaux and its eighteenth-century castle bearing the same name. After the small town of Bray-et-Lû you will proceed along the river Epte to Gisors and the fortress marking the historical Franco-Norman border.
4. Gisors – Forges-les-Eaux (65 km)
Departure from Gisors for Gournay-en-Bray and then on to Forges- les-Eaux, the renowned spa resort. Welcome to Normandy, or rather to Gourmandie, land of unique flavours!
5. Forges-les-Eaux – Dieppe (60 km)
From Forges-les-Eaux you will follow the brand new cycle path that will take you directly to the sea, through the wonderful countryside dotted with farms that supply their excellent products to the Norman and Parisian markets. Along the second half of the route the landscape is tinged with blue as you pass through the Arques estuary, overlooked by the castle of the same name and ancient sand caves that have become a refuge for marsh birds. Here you are in Dieppe, France’s first seaside resort and a favourite place for many impressionist painters.
6. Dieppe – Brighton (20 km + ferry + 20 km)
After a short loop around Dieppe, at about 12:30 you will embark to cross the English Channel and will arrive in Newhaven, where you will continue cycling along the wonderful Undercliff Walk, a stunning path along the sea. You will finally reach Brighton, famous and elegant English tourist resort. Do not miss a visit to the beautiful Royal Pavillion and an evening walk on the Brighton Pier.
7. Brighton – London (45 km)
After a train transfer up to Redhill, you will start cycling through wonderful parks and brand-new cycle paths, and will finally arrive in Westminster, in the heart of London.

Partire dal cuore di Parigi e ritrovarsi nelle Road vittoriane e grattacieli futuristici di Londra è stato emozionante, io personalmente nonostante aver visitato Londra anni fa avevo la pelle d’oca su tutto il corpo dall’emozione nel trovarmi in sella alla bici e scendere davanti all’abbazia di Westminster. -

È una bellissima vacanza per quelli che amano usare bici per fare degli spostamenti. Si passa da una città a dei panorami sempre verdi e sempre naturalistici per poi arrivare in un’altra grossa città.. quindi c’è un po’ di tutto...
Sia la Francia che l’Inghilterra sono molto belle, quindi direi che chi ama viaggiare in bici questo percorso dovrebbe farlo almeno una volta.... -

Viaggio bello, interessante e impegnativo. Emozionante arrivo e partenza, consigliato a chi pedala con una certa frequenza. Tamara la nostra guida ha saputo rendere più facili e piacevoli anche le tappe più impegnative, spiegando nei dettagli e dosando in modo perfetto le soste e i tempi di recupero.
Inghilterra batte Francia per il percorso, Francia batte Inghilterra per alimentazione.
Organizzazione e assistenza ottima. -

I got home on Tuesday evening, from my wonderful trip to France and England. When someone asks, what was the best part, I do not hesitate to answer -- When we turned the corner and there was Westminster Abbey in front of us and all thirteen of us arrived there safe and sound.
It was a great bike trip, I don't know how it could have been better. I was so happy to have Tamy as our guide, she did a perfect job. And Mateo on the van support was excellent as well.
I didn't have any idea how this group I put together would interact with each other, but all twelve were just great, and of course now they want me to tell them where we are going next! That is the best compliment possible, to Girolibero and the staff who helped us.
Everyone had very kind and positive things to say about yourself, as well as Tamy and Mateo, thought I would pass that along! -

Do sicuramente un bel 9 alla mia vacanza, quello che Girolibero scrive nei suoi cataloghi corrisponde sempre a verità, le guide sono all'altezza di ogni situazione e io mi sono trovata molto bene anche con il gruppo INTERNAZIONALE e ho trovato persone molto simpatiche e socievoli -

Bellissima esperienza!!!! Grazie Girolibero e grazie alla nostra vivacissima e simpaticissima guida TAMARA! Tutto perfetto: tappe, compagnia, guida, hotel. Il viaggio è stato così vario ed interessante che ho dovuto fare poi un riepilogo di ritorno a Roma. I posti erano bellissimi anche grazie alla nostra guida Tamara che ha saputo ogni volta proporci delle novità, curiosità gastronomiche e paesaggistiche. Insomma grazie ancora anche da parte di mio figlio Pietro che malgrado fosse partito con qualche perplessità (visto il tragitto non proprio facilissimo) si è divertito moltissimo facendo anche nuove amicizie!
L'anno prossimo tenteremo un percorso ancora più sfidante confidando nella vostra professionalità! -

Ottima vacanza. Ci sono anche molto piaciuto I due giorni extra a Parigi nel quartiere della Villette, un po’ meno I due giorni extra a Londra che abbiamo trovato, nella zona dove siamo stati, un po’ troppo commercializzata e strapiena di turisti. -

Ottima esperienza in generale. In particolare molto bene l'accompagnatrice Tamara; un paio di alberghi "migliorabili", (secondo me si fa pagare un po' di più e si selezionano alberghi migliori). Visto che la pioggia da quelle parti è quasi "garantita" dare in fase informativa istruzioni più dettagliate possibili sull'abbigliamento da portare con se'. -

Esperienza eccezionale, Tamara l'accompagnatrice è bravissima e non lascia nulla al caso. Gli hotel sono tutti buoni ed il botto finale con l'hotel Park Plaza a 500 metri da Westminster è impagabile.
