An epic two-week circular tour of France, taking in the best of the country's theme parks and rollercoasters...
The European Coaster Club has a long history of organising a variety of trips to theme parks around the world, the highlights of which are often the (usually annual) two-week mega trips. The "Tour de Force" was one such trip, which was originally planned to run several years ago but delayed, as so much has been, due to the pandemic.
It was finally time to dust off the plans in 2023, and the trip ran over the first two weeks of July. Forty two of us set off from Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport on a coach for a loop around the whole of France - even briefly dipping into Andorra for a day. Over the course of the fortnight we covered 3750km and visited twenty theme parks and fairs along the way.
