Spectator Final Week
VIP access to 4 stages and Rive Gauche VIP venue in Paris
July 15th – July 19th, 2021 • non-cycling
Our packages with VIP access let you live the greatest races in cycling from the inside. Imagine riding across the finish line on closed roads with crowds cheering you on, climbing the official podium or taking a selfie with your favorite rider! You've dreamed of a trip to the Tour de France, the Giro in Italy or the Vuelta a España; we can help you make it happen in the comfort of VIP venues!
This is a non-cycling trip that features some of the most iconic regions of France: the Pyrenees mountains, Bordeaux and the finish of le Tour in Paris.
This trip offers amazing race viewing including the Bordeaux region and Paris. We will enjoy VIP access to the race along the course and at the stage finish of the Individual time trial on stage 20.
This trip includes a VIP venue on the Champs Élysées in Paris to view the final stage and a dinner cruise on the River Seine after the race ends in Paris.
Today we will pick up at the Lourdes train station in the early morning. We will start the trip by touring the world-famous grotto in Lourdes. Located at the base of a cliff and alongside a river, the setting is gorgeous and a short walk from our hotel.
We will enjoy a welcome dinner for the group and your guide will review the plan for the next few days. Each guest will receive a gift from Custom Getaways and from the Tour de France organizers.
Today is a real treat. We will drive on the course to our next location called Relais Etape for lunch and to watch the race.
Relais Etape is a VIP hospitality tent set up along the course. To build an electric atmosphere, the caravan throws out small prizes before the racers and their entourage pass in front of us. We will be served an excellent, 4-course lunch with wine and champagne to toast the winner. The Tour de France also provides a gift to each guest in the Relais Etape tent.
After the finish of the stage, we will make our way to Bordeaux. You will have the evening free to relax and enjoy the hotel and property.
We will start the day with a tour of a winery in Bordeaux and a tasting. This region is known for the best red wines in the world. After the tasting, we will be driven to the finish of today’s stage.
After lunch, we will enter the Izoard VIP venue. This area is located close to the finish line and has air-conditioning, private restrooms, food, drinks, and TVs to follow the action. This is a great way to watch the race until the racers pass right in front of you on the way to the finish line.
Today’s stage is an individual time trial. After the stage 20 ITT in 2020, everyone knows how much this can change the race…it will be very exciting! Following the stage, we will waste no time in catching our train to Paris.
