Escape the crowds and discover the ultimate way to experience Versailles.
Biking is the best way to experience all of Versailles in one day. We’ll make your bike tour experience stress-free, interactive and tons of fun. Most other Versailles tours only see a fraction of what we’ll see during our bike tour through the legendary town & gardens of Versailles.
We’ve planned an unforgettable day trip from Paris, cruising through the town of Versailles to the amazing local food market and into Versailles’ royal grounds & gardens. You’ll enjoy your French picnic (that you’ll pick up on your own at the market) by the Grand Canal and have free time to mingle with other travelers. We’ll then pedal on to explore Marie Antoinette’s village together before we make our way to the legendary Chateau. You’ll then have plenty of free time to explore the palace at your own pace.
Our tour is not about stuffy history lessons & boring lectures. It’s about hearing all the fun stories and quirky anecdotes. It’s about escaping the bustling city for a day to enjoy cheese, wine, Marie Antoinette, tree-lined gardens, Instagram moments:-), and a fantastic day in the French countryside.
