Spyns

Back in 2003, we realized that while we all love the Tour de France, few couples and even fewer families are all die-hard riders. And voila! We created mixed tours like a perfect dinner: we provide the menu and you simply choose what you want. Everyone enjoys breakfast, dinner, and 5 tour stages together, but the rest is up to you. Non-riders have a full itinerary of cooking classes, shopping, hikes, and wine tastings. Riders will conquer France's most famous climbs like Mont Ventoux and Alpe d'Huez - with guides and full van support. Every night share stories of your daily exploits over a gourmet candlelit dinner...magnifique!

Spyns Premiere tours are popular with friends or couples travelling together with one avid rider and a non-rider (or often relaxed rider). Our 7-day romp through France allows riders to enjoy their daily dose of spinning up famous peaks like Alpe d'Huez while the non-riders have their own daily activities. The advantage is you always enjoy breakfast and dinner together to share stories. In addition to seeing 5 TDF stages, including a time trial, Alpe d'Huez, and the Paris finish, you'll experience two regions of France: the breathtaking Alps and timeless Paris. Whether you love to ride or just love a rider, everyone joins our traditional pre-finish bike ride up the deserted Champs Elysees on race finish day - a Spyns tradition.

Now add a cooking class, Seine river cruise, pre-finish bike ride on the Champs Elysees, and the world's hardest to come by TDF grandstand seats. 'Parfait' as the French say. If you can't take one of our week-long tours, this is an exciting alternative. Spend 3-days in the city of lights enjoying the sights and sounds of Europe's most beautiful city. Paris can host a sporting event like no other and it shines particularly brightly for the TDF's finish.

Now add the dramatic TDF finish, a luxury hotel on the race course, and a private room with Eiffel Tower and race course views. 'Parfait' as the French say. If you can't take one of our week-long Tour de France tours, this is an exciting alternative. Spend 3-days in the city of lights enjoying the sights and sounds of Europe's most beautiful city.
