Bienvenue en France!

Our staff will meet you at NH Hotel Toulouse airport from 1500. It’s situated besides Hall A at Toulouse airport and you can check in any time from 1500. If you arrive early you can leave your bags and explore Toulouse. We’ll meet again at 1730 and we’ll have a a short orientation meeting where we’ll run through the plans for the upcoming days followed by a welcome dinner, where you’ll get a chance to meet your fellow Tour de France fans!

Day 2


LIVE Race-Viewing: VIP Departure Village in Toulouse

As an Official Tour Operator, we have secured a visit of the ‘Team Paddock’ and Departure Village stage start. The Departure Village allows you to see sponsors and gain VIP entry, perhaps even meeting past winners of the race. Then (Covid allowing) it’s onto our favourite – the paddock is where all the cyclists and teams congregate pre-race. The area offers fantastic opportunities to get up-close to the riders and Tour celebrities, as well as getting a first-hand view of the inner workings of the Tour de France. This is the place to get those all-important autographs and pictures with the Tour celebrities and riders.  A Spectator’s favorite! After the cyclists head off, we too shall set off to our Hotel for the next 4 nights in Arreau.

Day 3


LIVE Race-Viewing: VIP Izoard on Hautacam

Today we’ll witness the thrill of a Mountain finish on Hautacam. We’ll head over the valley to Lourdes and then up the windy mountain with our VIP accreditation, passing by all the people who have camped out for days! Its a sight to behold and an exciting part of the day!  Early afternoon we will head to our exclusive VIP area, situated either on the climb or in the village. The Izoard is a 3-tiered viewing area with complimentary appetizers, drinks and official TDF photos.. There’s live coverage of the race as we await the riders and take advantage of the free bar, canapes and entertainment, until we see them with our own eyes!  You can’t beat the excitement!

Day 4


LIVE Race-Viewing: VIP Relais Etape Time Trial

Situated in a key location on the course  this exclusive area offers a 3 course meal, a free bar, live viewing  and commentary, plus entertainment! Even better news is they LOVE Thomson Spectators and spoil us rotten. Be showered with Tour de France hospitality and enjoy a chilled exciting  atmosphere, photo booths, VR games, sit at  dedicated tables and enjoy the race, before it passes by LIVE!  The premium roadside location  will offer amazing opportunities to get some great stress free shots of the riders as they ride past us on the course. Then it’s back to the live viewing to see who will win today’s stage. A fabulous gift rounds up the day.

Day 5


LIVE Race-Viewing: VIP Izoard in Luchon SuperBagnères

Today we’ll hop over the mountain, where the Time Trial took place yesterday and down to Bagnères de Luchon, to watch another Mountain finish on SuperBagnères! The cyclists will actually be passing through Arreau, but at a super fast speed, so we’ll head to the end to see the finale! Bagnères de Luchon is a quaint town and we’ll arrive in time for you to have lunch and explore, before we had to our VIP Viewing area for a final treat, being spoilt and enjoying the live coverage, until the cyclists pass before us. That evening we’ll head back to the Hotel for a farewell dinner.

Day 6


Au Revoir

After all that excitement it’s time to say goodbye and we will drop you off at Toulouse airport. We hope to see you back in the future. Join us on a Thomson Spectator Trip to La Vuelta, Spring Classics, or Tour Down Under.
