This trip is based on 2 people traveling together and sharing a room. It can be modified to accommodate singles, as well as three or more people traveling together.

- The very important stage containing 7 cobbled sections

- the Champagne and Burgundy Regions

- the Final Time Trial along the Chateaux of the Medoc region

- and the Arrival in Paris of course.
