Hello, my wife and I are planning on going to France for the final week of the Tour de France this year. We are very excited, but this will be only my second time to Europe and it will be the first time for my wife. We are not planning on doing any biking ourselves, just watching. We want to try to find a tour group or similar that will take care of the hotels and transportation to the race sites.
Does anyone have any advise about finding a non-biking tour group for the Tour de France? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

If my wife enjoys it, we may go every year. If not, not. Give me an inch and I take an inch. But I do have my eye on the mile.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Screw the group. Grab a Let's Go France book, pick hotels in the areas you need and book now. One hotel I recommend is the Henri XIV on the Ile de France in Paris. Cheap, cool and in the middle of town. You even get your own full bathroom, bidet included. Rent a car and drive like a moron. It's fun, and you'll fit right in.
