Highlights
Our bike tours were one of the first on the Paris bike scene nearly 2 decades ago, and we like to keep that feeling of community on tour. For this reason, and unlike other bike tours of Versailles, we limit our group sizes. We also warmly welcome you at our very own café, and our guide rides the train to Versailles with you- so you’re taken care of the whole way. Join our family for a day, and experience our version of Versailles! We’ve planned an unforgettable day trip from Paris, cruising through the town of Versailles for the amazing local market, heading into Versailles’ grounds & gardens, Marie Antoinette’s village, and the Trianons. After the picnic, we make our way to the Chateau. You’ll then explore the palace at your own pace. Our tour makes history accessible. It’s about getting the juicy important details of Versailles plus the fun stories and quirky anecdotes. It’s simply about an unforgettable day in the countryside, tickets included

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.
