By road

The start and finish points at Mulhouse (for Col de Bussang) and Koblenz are sufficiently close to be able to leave a vehicle at one end and return by train with your cycle to collect it after completing the ride. If driving from the UK, the distance from the Channel to Mulhouse is approximately 650km; from the Channel to Koblenz is 500km.

European Bike Express operates a coach service with a dedicated cycle trailer from northern England, picking up en route across England to the Mediterranean, with a drop-off point at Nancy in eastern France. Details and booking are through www.bike-express.co.uk. Trains link Nancy and Strasbourg, with connections on to Mulhouse.

Intermediate access

There are international airports at Metz–Nancy–Lorraine (17km north-east of Pont-à-Mousson; Stage 6), Luxembourg (Stage 9A) and Frankfurt Hahn (which is nowhere near Frankfurt, but is in the Hunsrück Mountains 18km south-east of Enkirch on Stage 12).

Much of the route is closely followed by railway lines. Stations en route are listed in the text and shown on the stage maps.
