Start location - Caen

End location - Nice

Our North to South tour is truly an epic challenge, spanning approximately 1550 km and taking in around 19000m of elevation. This adventure is something a little bit special, comparable in distance to the famous LEJOG route (Land’s End to John o’ Groats) but with the added benefit of predominantly nicer weather. Let me guide you through the scenic journey:

The route crosses the most beautiful and idyllic scenery, initially we head south before we cross into the rolling landscape and natural beauty of the Dordogne Valley which is nothing short of spectacular. The route then turns eastwards, and the terrain becomes more mountainous as we head across to the stunning Rhone Valley where it intersects with the iconic giant Mont Ventoux framed by the beautiful rolling lavender fields. This is a challenge to take on so why not tick it off at the same time. After taking in some of the most wonderful gorges and balcony roads, we wave goodbye to the Provence region and push on in an easterly direction.

The route then meanders down to a beautiful end to the adventure and the vibrant capital of the French riviera Nice nestled in the Mediterranean coastline a fitting end to an epic challenge. Now is the time to Stroll along the famous Promenade des Anglais, explore the historic Old Town, and take in impressive views from Castle Hill and bask in your achievements over the last 2 weeks.

So, what are you waiting for; gear up for this unforgettable cycling adventure—from northern France’s rolling hills the beautiful vistas and vineyards of the Dordogne valley to Mont Ventoux’s and the iconic lavender fields, savour every moment as you roll into a beautiful finale Nice tucked away on the azure coast.
