The annual France Show is returning to London – and we've got FREE TICKETS to share with the Freewheeling France community. If you're in the UK, read on to find out how to enter.
OK, so I admit it: cycling in France in January isn't for everyone, so I've got the next best thing for you.
I've been offered 10 pairs of tickets to The France Show – the UK's biggest show dedicated to all thing French – and I'm passing them on to readers.
The show takes place at Kensington Olympia in London from January 29-31, and features a wide array of treats for anyone interested in visiting France this year.
There's even a bikey flavour with Jane and Andy from Fellow Velo running an informal drawing competition based on Picasso's famous Bull's Head handlebar work. You can also chat to the guys at Cycling for Softies (below) who will be on hand with tips and advice about cycling in France.
The show is an ideal opportunity to talk to tourist boards, accommodation providers and transport operators and get some local advice to help plan your trip. There will also be language tips to help you build on your bike words. Other gues speakers include the writer Tony Hawkes, wine expert Susy Atkins and comedian Ian Moore.
For anyone thinking about a move cross the Channel, there will also be a French property section with information and advice to help anyone contemplating buying in France.
Shop at the French market, try your hand at boules and sample France without leaving 'home'.
For more details and to buy tickets (if you're not lucky enough to win them here!), see the official website.
