Description

This five-day Paris to Freiburg bike tour draws a clean eastbound line through canals, river valleys, Champagne, Lorraine, the Vosges and the Upper Rhine. It starts near the Seine, follows the Marne through towns such as Château-Thierry and Aÿ, crosses long open sections towards Toul, then continues via Nancy, Lunéville and the Meurthe valley to Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. The final stage climbs across the Vosges before Alsace, the Rhine, the Kaiserstuhl and Freiburg bring the ride home.
