(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 06, 2009 ) VANCOUVER, BC—The Tour de France is the most exciting event in the world of cycling, and renowned outfitter, Great Explorations, will be there to take cycling enthusiasts right to the middle of the action. One of the few tour operators that are offering Tour de France itineraries this year, Great Explorations has developed an unforgettable itinerary for the race beginning in Annecy and finishing either in Avignon, Provence or in Paris.

Only Great Explorations covers 4-5 stages of the race with a celebratory ending at a hotel in Paris complete with a balcony view of the Champs D’ Elycees and the course (forget fighting the crowds to catch a view of the racers). Because of their years of experience in offering this trip, Great Explorations knows where the pros will be staying, so guests will have personal access to get autographs, take photos, and interact with the professionals.

Group sizes are kept to 16 or less, so it’s an intimate experience, and cyclists are free to challenge themselves at any level they wish. Accommodation is in three and four star hotels, and participants will have plenty of time to check out the sights and sounds of France along the way. Travelers will have the opportunity to enjoy incredible cycling on the same routes as the pros, on this once a year opportunity.

Dates: Alps to Provence: July 20-26, Alps to Paris: July 20-27. Alps to Provence: US $3250 Includes 6B/2L/5D, Alps to Paris: US$3950 Includes 7B/2L/6D, Single Supplement: Alps to Provence: US $600, Alps to Paris: US$800 , Bike Rental: Racing: US $290, Hybrid: US $210. Custom trips also available.
