It is one of the most anticipated events in the sporting calendar and now hot on the heels of the recent Tour De France race, the first stage dates and route have been announced for 2016. So why not get involved and enjoy the action with Eurocamp?

It all starts 2 July 2016 at Mont-Saint-Michel and travels through the beautiful French Countryside, which is not only ideal for cycling but also for a great holiday. With more than 100 well-equipped parcs in some of France's most popular areas, British cycling lovers can enjoy the best of the action at parcs situated along the route.

Located by the starting line, Domaine des Ormes in Brittany is perfect for holidaymakers seeking adventure during their travels. With an 18-hole golf course and horse riding available on site, there is something to keep all the family occupied after the race has got going. Prices start at just £866 for a family of four for one week.*

After all this excitement why not enjoy some downtime in the on-site spa and Jacuzzi. For family members seeking culture during the trip, check out the D-Day landing beaches, which are just a short walk from the parc.
