OBT’s 2013 Tour de France Bike Tour – The 100th TdF! Here’s your chance to climb the famous mountains of the Alps and Provence and see your favorite racers chase the biggest prize in cycling! After watching the racing and riding yourself we move on to Paris to watch the last stage finish on the Champs Elysees. You can’t miss the 100th edition of the Grande Boucle!
Our Tour de France bike tour starts in Provence, at the foot of Mt. Ventoux. After you conquer the “Giant of Provence” you will have the chance to watch the pros do the same. From there we head to the Alps for several great stages, including a double ascent Alp d’Huez and other famous climbs! We finish your tour off with a TGV ride to Paris to watch the final stage. The nighttime stage finish is a first and will be very special.
