Tour de France Tours – 2012

Discover France Adventures is an Official Tour Operator to the Tour de France! We are just one of a few companies authorized to provide VIP Tour de France tours. These provide both Tour de France viewing and opportunities to ride the race course just prior to the arrival of the pro peleton, meet pros and the media, cross the finish line and go on the podium yourself! We offer full VIP tours that are challenging cycling or moderate cycling and even easy cycling.  We do also offer Etape du Tour (ride a full stage of Le Tour!), the Grand Final in Paris, and NON-Vip Tours that are challenging or moderate cycling without the VIP access.

All programs in 2012 are professionally guided and supported!  To see the Route Map in Detail click here

All offers are listed in this site, but never hesitate to contact us!
