Travel Challenge: Tour de France finale
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

£255: Coach tour
Includes coach travel on 22 July from a range of UK locations to Dover, with onwards ferry-crossing and coach travel to Paris. Three nights' B&B at the Holiday Inn in the suburb of Bougival is also included, but not grandstand access. "This offers the perfect balance, giving time in the French capital to go sightseeing and also the chance to watch the nail-biting climax from the sidelines of the Champs-Elysées on Sunday 24 July," says Anita Rodger of Leger Holidays (0844 504 6250; legerbreaks.info).
