We've got our city tours down - we take you to some of the best sites in Paris on our Monuments tour, and some of the lesser known sites on our Hidden tours. We're known in Versailles for our small group tours and guides with extensive historical knowledge... but what do you think - should we make road rides available to book as well?? It's always in the back of our minds...

Happy February! This is the last month of our "off season" where we only offer private tours - next month you'll notice our calendar picks up with group Paris tours toute de suite, and even Versailles. Our cycling club will kick off again in March, too. For February, we invite you to join us on a private tour of Hidden Paris or Paris Monuments - or both! Booking is possible online, and you're guaranteed to have a ball!

We have officially been in renovation for one week! That means it's been one week since you've seen Paul outside the café, drawing people in with his charm and incredible story-telling skills. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll still get to go riding with him while the café is closed... As one of the owners of Le Peloton Café and Bike About Tours, Paul is always thinking and dreaming up what might come next to make this community even more incredible - you can practically see the stars in his eyes! Remember - if you're visiting during renovations, we've still got bikes available to rent and private tours to show you the city. Don't forget to reach out with any questions... or just to say hi!

Today is our first weekend with a closed café! Luckily the stars aligned to make this renovation happen during the low season of tourism - that means when things start to pick up again (ie when YOU book your trip to Paris) in March, we will hopefully be prepping for the grand re-opening! Our bike tours will continue to meet here for our 2022 season - and don't worry, even though the café is temporarily closed, we are still running private tours and renting bikes out. Shoot us an email, or even a WhatsApp, and we'll get you sorted!

If you emailed us with inquiries about tours in the last two years, you may have received a response from this guy - Christian is one of the owners of Bike About Tours and Le Peloton Café. An avid enthusiast of all things bikes, Christian is usually leading our Endurance club rides or researching more cycling companies about Peloton Café branded gear - we have a feeling there will be some exciting new things coming up, now that the café is closed for renovation and he has more time to make new dreams a reality! Don't worry - the café will be open again mid-March for all of your pre-tour waffle needs!
