Calais to Lyon - 470 miles Show Map
We will meet in Calais at 9am where all the teams can laugh at (sorry, admire) each others bangers! The first day's route will take us down through central France, with the option of going via Paris or avoiding the capital and going via Reims and Dijon.
Lyon to Nice - 290 miles Show Map
From Lyon we head south, over the French Alps to Nice. There's also the possibility of taking a slight detour to drive around Monaco!
Nice to Barcelona - 410 miles Show Map
The final day will take us along the French Riviera, past Nimes and Perpignan, across the Spanish border and on to our final destination of Barcelona.
