    Description

    This 6-day bike tour runs from Paris to Cologne and links three major European cycling regions: northern France, Flanders and Wallonia. The route starts in the French capital, passes Senlis, Compiègne and Saint-Quentin, then enters Paris–Roubaix country with the Trouée d’Arenberg, Roubaix and the Roubaix velodrome as true Classics landmarks. From there, it moves into Flanders with climbs such as Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg, Koppenberg and Taaienberg, before continuing through Brussels, the rolling country towards Liège and across the German border. Cologne finishes the route with the Rhine and the cathedral. Create a free account to see every stage with map view, elevation profile, GPX files and detailed day-by-day descriptions.
