Paris2Nice is a not-for-prot organisation providing infrastructure and support to enable individuals and charities to participate in an annual organized cycling challenge from Paris to Nice. Paris2Nice is designed to be unlike other charity events. We want the experience of Paris2Nice to be an extraordinary life changing event for each participant. Our aim is... to challenge their pre-conception of how much money they can fundraise to challenge their perception of their tness and cycling ability to witness the benets of their fundraising efforts after the event to evangelise the experience of Paris2Nice for future years.
