The Mummu Cycling team will meet you mid-morning at the Clermont-Ferrand train station with a short transfer to our hotel in the spa town of Châtel-Guyon, the thermal spa resort, where Baroque hotels line broad avenues and eccentric-looking villas confidently showcase their grand architecture.

After checking in and getting comfortable, we’ll gather in our designated bike room for a short briefing. Our expert staff will assist with assembly and adjustment of your bikes, ensuring everything is perfectly tuned for the afternoon’s ride.

Be sure to fuel up with a light meal before we embark on an easy warm-up ride. Your Mummu ride guides will expertly lead the group, while our accompanying support vehicle ensures a dependable presence and assistance throughout all rides this week. Today’s gentle route loops through picturesque countryside, ideal for loosening up after travel and preparing for the adventures ahead.

Round off your first day with our welcome dinner, where you’ll meet your fellow cyclists, share Tour de France dreams, and raise a glass to the exciting journey ahead!

Begin your day with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel before we transport you to our carefully selected starting point. Experience the unique thrill of cycling on the official Tour de France route while the roads are closed to traffic – a rare privilege that puts you in the tire tracks of cycling legends before both the promotional caravan and professional peloton sweep through.

After an invigorating three-hour ride, you’ll have time to refresh at our exclusive viewing location. Here, the Mummu marquee awaits with a picnic including refreshing beverages. Today’s stage follows a predominantly flat route from Chinon to Châteauroux, culminating in the legendary finish straight nicknamed “Avenue Cavendish” – where the sprinting phenomenon Sir Mark Cavendish claimed his first Tour victory in 2008.

Once the excitement of the peloton passing reaches its crescendo, we’ll pack up and return to our comfortable accommodation in Châtel-Guyon for an evening at your leisure.

Begin your day with a substantial breakfast before suiting up in your Mummu cycling attire. We’ll whisk you to a choice spot along Stage 10’s route, where you’ll be immersed in the passionate atmosphere of Bastille Day celebrations. Challenge yourself on the formidable combination of Col de la Croix Saint Roberts and Puy de Sancy – the same demanding ascents that await the professional peloton.

Experience an unforgettable moment as you ride through the Flamme Rouge barriers and across the official finish line, followed by a commemorative photo session on the winners’ podium! Then retreat to the exclusive VIP Izoard hospitality zone, where you’ll savour premium French canapés and unlimited refreshments while following the race action on large screens. From this prime vantage point, watch the professionals complete their gruelling stage with the final climb bringing their total vertical gain for the day to 4,400 metres!

After witnessing this spectacular stage, we’ll return to the hotel where you can unwind and enjoy dinner at your own pace.

Today marks the first rest day for the peloton but not for us! Start your day with a hearty breakfast before embarking on a four-hour ride through the stunning landscapes surrounding Châtel-Guyon, gateway to the magnificent Auvergne Volcanic Nature Park.

After returning to freshen up and check out, we’ll journey south toward the Pyrenees to Toulouse, affectionately known as “La ville rose” (The Pink City) for its distinctive terra-cotta brick architecture that echoes its Roman heritage.

Your home for the next three nights will be the luxurious 4-star Pullman Toulouse Centre Ramblas, ideally situated within walking distance of the city center. The evening is yours to explore this vibrant metropolis at your leisure. Wander through charming narrow streets and historic squares, watching as café terraces buzz with life. From casual bistros to Michelin-starred restaurants and enticing street food vendors, Toulouse’s renowned culinary scene offers something to satisfy every palate.

Begin your day with breakfast at the hotel before heading to Stage 11’s start line. Our Tour Operator status grants you the exclusive privilege of riding the closed-road route ahead of both the promotional caravan and professional peloton. Adding to this special experience, you’ll be joined by cycling legend Stuart O’Grady, whose impressive Tour de France career features 17 appearances, two stage victories, two Team Time Trial wins, and periods wearing the coveted Yellow Jersey.

After an energizing two-hour ride, we’ll escort you to our premium viewing location where the Mummu marquee awaits with a picnic lunch and refreshments. Once the peloton passes, we’ll return to the hotel to freshen up before positioning ourselves to watch the sprinters battle it out at the stage finish following their 154km stage loop through the Toulouse region.

You’ll spend your final evening of your Tour de France adventure with us in Toulouse capped off with a special farewell dinner hosted by Stuart O’Grady.

Begin your final morning with breakfast before we get ready to check out. We’ll then head to the Stage 12’s start line, where our Tour Operator credentials grant you privileged access to the Official Tour de France Departure Village. Here, you’ll experience the heart of pre-race excitement, watching professional cyclists arrive at the signing-in podium for their official stage check-in.

Immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere as you sample local delicacies and refreshments while exploring this exclusive zone. The adjacent team paddock offers intimate glimpses of cycling’s elite preparing for their day, with opportunities to spot your favorite riders up close as they make final adjustments at their team buses. You’ll be at the epicenter of the pre-race build-up, absorbing all the unique traditions and excitement of a Tour de France morning.

After witnessing the dramatic stage start, we’ll transport you to Toulouse airport for your departure. We trust your Tour de France dreams have been fulfilled and look forward to welcoming you back for future cycling adventures!
