Itinerary Detail
Day 1
Bienvenue en France!
Our staff will meet you at Toulouse airport. From the airport we’ll transfer in our private shuttle to our hotel in Arreau,. We’ll have a welcome lunch, where you’ll get a chance to meet your fellow Tour de France fans, followed by a short orientation meeting where we’ll run through the plans for the upcoming days. After lunch we will head up and over Col de Peyresourde, which the race will tackle in 3 days, to go to Bagnères de Luchon. This col has featured in many tours and will be already lined with fans. After a couple of hours free time we will head back over to our Hotel. The drive back will have a view of the famous Col d’Aspin, as we weave down to our Hotel for dinner.
Day 2
LIVE Race-Viewing: VIP Relais Etape
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 3
LIVE Race-Viewing: VIP Izoard Pla d'Adet
Today we’ll witness the thrill of a Mountain finish on Pla d’Adet! There is a buzz and excitement as the fans, media and the spectacle that is the Tour de France arrive for the finish! We’ll head to Saint Lary Soulan, the village at the foot of the climb, in the morning. It’s often where the media congregate and it’s a beautiful mountain paradise. Your guide is good friends with Phil Liggett, so maybe he will have time to say hello before he starts commentating! Then a short cable car ride up the mountain will take us to the finish line. We will make the most of the day lapping up the atmosphere and joining the crowds’ frivolities and you can grab yourself lunch. 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 Departure Village Loudenvielle
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. When they head off, we’ll take the short journey back to watch the race live in our village, before Bastille day celebrations for a final great evening! A great round up of the trip!
Day 5
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 Giro D’Italia
