Do you know where the French Revolution was first planned? And what about the oldest historic district in Paris? In every neighborhood, on every corner, this city reveals its true essence: a city of endless discoveries and we want to share its treasures with you. ❤️ On this 3-hour bike tour, we will take you to unique locations and share with you the bohemian stories of famous intellectuals like Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Albert Camus; the whims of royal families such as de Medici, which gave life to the city's most beautiful palaces and buildings; and many other stories about great personalities, monuments and neighborhoods of Paris. While landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral are undeniably iconic, they only scratch the surface of what this enchanting city has to offer.

About Paris

Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
