Sunnysue Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 We are hoping to travel through France to UK in July but have been told its not a good month to do this due to the Tour de France and parts being closed. Would appreciate any advice on best route from Spain through France to Calais. Thanks Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 If you Google 'tour de France 2010' you can see the route - so you can easily work out a way round it. We have been 'caught up ' in the tour in previous years and it's not really a big problem - they close off the roads that are to be used for about 24 - 36 hours - so as long as you allow yourself plenty of time it should be no problem. This years route appears to be mainly east to west across the south and up/ down the eastern side of France, so a trip up through central France should avoid it.

JeffersonCampervan Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm planning my next trip to avoid it as well, but I arrive in Amsterdam a few days before it starts in Rotterdam - then I head south to arrive in Paris on the 9th. here are the most useful sites I've found: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=109841352513913480799.000475d6902a66cb104bb http://www.letour.fr/2010/TDF/COURSE/us/le_parcours.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
