 Napoleon rides again in 2027, across eight countries in the footsteps of the Grand Armée. It is both a historical adventure and a celebration of Europe.

The expedition takes us from West to East on the trail of one of history’s most famous conquerors. Ride the whole epic or any of three stages.

Join us on a ride of historic proportions as we follow in the footsteps of Napoleon’s ‘Grande Armée’ from Paris to Tallinn. This extraordinary journey across Europe once continued all the way to Moscow, but today celebrates the remarkable transformation of Eastern Europe since the fall of the Soviet Union.

At a time when events in Ukraine and political pressures on the European project dominate the headlines, this immersive journey offers a deeper perspective on the success and scope of the European project and the many positives that can be found across the continent.

We ride through the storied Champagne region of France before crossing into the picturesque, castle-clad green hills of southern Germany. Our route then winds through beautifully preserved UNESCO-listed medieval towns in Poland before reaching the windswept shores of the North Sea. From here we turn east, tracing a path through the tranquil lake districts of northern Poland and onward across the quietly captivating Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, finishing in the medieval splendour of Tallinn.

Experience total immersion in the landscapes, history and culture of the regions we ride through as we follow this inspirational trail along roads less travelled.
