Map making time for the Paris Lyon tour.

02/23/2023

I've made an adjustment to the '23 tours. I have removed the Central Massif and added a semi private tour, Paris to Lyon. The dates are, arrival July 22 Paris (CDG) depart Aug 4 from Lyon (LYS).
This tour will be much different to any ECT tour, this one is flat, medium distances, multi night stays to allow seeing the sights of Champagne before turning south through Dijon and Beaune on our way to Lyon.
Had enough of crossing the Alps? Looking for a proper vacation rather than day after day of suffering? Have you wanted to stand on the Champs Elysees and watches the TdF circle the Arc de Triomphe? If so this one is for you.
Semi Private means a small group of ECT clients and or friends of. For those who have not traveled with us will need to talk to me before being added to this tour. This tour will not be posted on the Erickson Cycle Tours site. During the month of March I will start getting firm comments from those wishing to join us on a champagne, burgundy cycling tour.

The second tour (Central Massif - Alps) will start in Toulouse with pick ups at the NH airport hotel on Aug 25. This tour will head northeast ending in Geneva Switzerland on September 9. Airport drop off will be on the 9-10.
The route will take us from Toulouse to Mende touching a bit of the Central Massif, crossing the Rhone and into the Alps for many of the famous climbs of the French Alps.
