Join Velo Echappe' in 2008 on a world exclusive vacation to the French / Spanish Pyrenees and take part in two of the most mythical events of the summer - the Etape du Tour in France and the Fiesta in Pamplona, Spain!

To begin, you will have the opportunity to ride an entire mountain stage of the Tour de France on July 6 as you ascend two of the most historical climbs in the grand history of Le Tour - the Col du Tourmalet (the first mountain ever ascended in the Tour de France) and the challenging ascent of Hautacam! In addition to the unforgettable cycling, you'll visit all of the Tour's major sponsors at the Etape du Tour Village when you "sign in," be cheered on by entire villages on holiday, and have Mavic offering their famed on-road assistance! It all adds up to living the greatest cycling dream imaginable!

After riding this great event and soaking up the history of the Tour de France, we'll depart across the border into Spain for all the festivities of the Fiesta in Pamplona! Made famous in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, our guests will enjoy all the cultural festivities in the following manner:

• Daily VIP status at our exclusive viewing balcony (complete with Spanish buffet breakfast) overlooking the circuit in Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls!
• An exclusive visit and luncheon at the Otazu Winery in the Navarran countryside.
• Exclusive access to the Neuvo Casino Social Club in Pamplona (where the "who's who" in Pamplona and Spain relax during the Fiesta).
• Prepared Basque-style "Welcome Lunch" at El Embrujo with Chef Pablo, one of the top chefs in Navarra.
• Optional entry into the evening bullfights. (This will be extra at each guest's expense)
• All the Spanish tapas, rioja and cava you can eat and drink!
• Nightly jazz performances and fireworks competitions!

So join us on this exclusive vacation to the heart of the French / Spanish Pyrenees this summer and enjoy an unforgettable week filled with history, culture, adrenaline, and adventure!
