Cycling in all its glory

During the summer, no one can miss the bicycle race Tour de France, which begins in Utrecht in the Netherlands on June 4th and finishes amidst the beauty of the Champs-Elysees, on July 26th. The cyclists will travel 3,360 hard fought kilometres over 21 stages of plains, hills and mountains before reaching the finishing line here in Paris and, in recognition of their phenomenal efforts, it’s great to be on the spot to cheer them on along the home stretch. The evening will bring celebratory concerts and activities and a great party atmosphere. First held in 1903, the Tour de France is one of the world’s great sporting events and you can be there at the climax. The Hotel Marais Bastille is located a few metres from the Eiffel Tower and not far from Champs-Elysées. It is perfect for getting the most out of the last leg of the Tour de France. Then you’ll be tempted to get into the saddle yourself to discover Paris in a more leisurely way.
