Episodes

1. The North

Aired: 11/3/2014

Bon voyage, Micky! Join the funnyman as he heads across the Channel to put his own spin on the Tour de France. Along for the ride is his mate Noel.

2. The East

Aired: 11/10/2014

France is famous for its fizz and food, so it would be rude of Micky and Noel not to indulge in both. Noel also takes on a huge cycling challenge.

3. The South

Aired: 11/17/2014

The comedian and his friend Noel continue their journey through France by heading south. Stopping off in Camargue, they are thrown into the thick of an annual gypsy festival and sample the wares of a cosmic wine-maker. The duo move on to St Remy and the Saint Paul de Mausole, a psychiatric hospital that uses art and music to treat troubled individuals - and it turns out one of the centre's most famous patients was Vincent van Gogh. In Monaco, they are joined on their bikes by former F1 star David Coulthard, before Micky makes a splash in a transvestite bar in Cannes.

4. La Fin

Aired: 11/24/2014

The end is in sight for comedian Micky Flanagan and best mate Noel Lynch, but before they say 'au revoir' to France, they have a few more trips to make. They begin in Marseille, the second largest city in the country, where they learn about the ancient martial art of savate and taste the world's most expensive soup. Then it's on to Lourdes, before a quick trip to Bordeaux to sample a particularly revered bottle of wine and visit a museum dedicated to berets. Their tour comes to an end in Paris, city 'De L'Amour', where they seal their bromance on the Love Lock bridge.
