5The ultimate bike tour of unforgettable Versailles
If you’ve come to Paris to discover vivacious Versailles, this is your ultimate bike tour, taking you to the Palace, Gardens, Fountains, Royal Grounds, Open Air Food Market (for an extra special Parisian picnic), and even Marie Antoinette’s private hamlet. This guided day tour is your all-encompassing Versailles via velo adventure!
There are simply no words in existence to do full justice to the breathtaking beauty of Château de Versailles. The Palace has stood since 1634 as the ultimate architectural masterpiece, representing the highest imaginable degree of beauty, and perhaps the most extravagant status symbol in the history of world politics. It was built to be the official royal residence of King Louis XIV of France. Inherent in the design are the two key principles that guided the king - power and beauty.
You will receive a guided tour of the interior of the Palace, where magnificence knows no bounds. Explore the Hall of Mirrors, King’s Apartment, and Royal Chapel amongst other exquisite locations of interest. Outside, ride around the Royal Inner Gardens and the world-famous fountains for a mesmerizing tour of triumphant topiary, decorative lawns, and sensational statues.
You’ll park your bicycle up at the Versailles Open Air Food Market to purchase authentic French delicacies for the most picturesque of picnics. You’d have to ride a long way to have lunch on a lawn with a more regal view!
Your guided bike tour sees you ride around the Royal Grounds, from the Estate of Trianon, to the stables, to the Park and Gardens. You’ll finish with a regal flourish at Marie Antoinette’s private hamlet, a lakeside crescent of captivating cottages ordered by the Queen herself - her own slice of paradise in the grounds of the most prominent palace in the world.
The ride of a lifetime.

Thoroughly enjoyable day.
I have nothing but positive things to say about our bike tour and the guided tour of Versailles. Great guide and really nice group of people. Riding through the palace grounds and the town was the perfect way to cover a lot of space without exhausting ourselves. Visiting the market and buying all of the items for a picnic was really fun. Having a picnic on the grounds of Versailles Palace, at the end of the Grand Canal with the palace in the background, was almost surreal.
