Day 1 -   

Vincent and Paul Started their journey at the London Borough of Bexley through the streets of North Kent, travelling to the city of Rochester admiring the sites including the 1000 year old Norman Castle. Much of the route thereafter was through small towns along the edge of the North Downs and over the pilgrims, a route used by the pilgrims on their way from Winchester to Canterbury.  Vincent then followed the pilgrim’s way to Burham and on to Lydden, then as Kent coast line comes into view they were nearing the port of Dover!

Vincent and Paul completed 73Miles to Dover!

Day 2 -

After an overnight stay Vincent and Paul set off through the old fashioned port town of Dieppe and into the Normandy countryside. They then travel to Saint Saens passing through the village of Torcy le Grand, Bossque eveline, Saint-en-Bray, Onse-en-Bray and finally on to Gournay-en-Bray.

Looking tired! Lets stop for a coffee! Hard 50miles done today.

Day 3 -

Still in Normandy they travelled south easterly towards Paris.  A bit of history – Normandy is known for its farmland crisis- crossed with hedges and trees which they cycled amongst for 15 miles then entered the suburbs of Paris and a forest area known as Le parc aux etoiles. From there Vincent and Paul tackled a steep decline to the River Seine and crossed the river close to Poissy.  Approaching St Germain-en-Laye and again cross the Seine – Vincent then crossed a bridge into the Bois de Boulogne, then left at the Place de la Porte de Boulevards towards the final destination!

Paul has resorted to driving the rest of the way!

The last few miles took them cross the Pont d’Lena and straight ahead to the Eiffel Tower!

Final destination!!

Paul and Vincent at the Eiffel Tower!

London to Paris conquered!  Well done Vincent & Paul!
