Pedalling across the Channel

20 FCO staff took to their bikes this month to cycle from Paris to London for charity. They were cycling along the new London to Paris Avenue Verte, a cyclist-friendly road opened after last year’s Olympic Games.The cyclists, from the British Embassy in Paris and the consulates of Marseille and Bordeaux, were raising money  for the NSPCC and a French charity Enfant Bleu – Enfance Maltraitée. As part of their 4 day trip they attended  a wreath laying ceremony in memory of the 3,600 British and Canadian soldiers and airmen who were injured or died during the 1942 Raid on the port of Dieppe.
