It's an eco-friendly and fun way to experience the elegance of Versailles, combined with educational insights into its history.

The tour begins with participants convening at the RER train station, setting off for an unforgettable day in Versailles. First stop is the vibrant Versailles Market, where you can select and purchase a variety of local delicacies. Brimming with vibrant colors and bustling with activity, this offers an authentic glimpse into French gastronomy. It's a perfect spot to sample and select local delicacies for the picnic.

The journey continues as you explore the less-trodden paths of Versailles, uncovering secluded spots like Marie Antoinette's quaint hamlet, the Petit Trianon, and the majestic Grand Trianon.

Marie Antoinette's Hamlet is a charming pastoral retreat tucked away in Versailles, a quiet escape from court life. Built to imitate a rustic Normandy village, this quaint settlement is a picturesque place to explore.

The neoclassical jewel, Petit Trianon, served as a sanctuary to Marie Antoinette, gifted to her by Louis XVI. This intimate, small palace invites visitors with its simplistic design and breaks from strict court protocol.

The Grand Trianon, created by Louis XIV, is a stunning construction of pink marble, presenting an alternative to the grandeur of the main palace. Surrounded by geometric French and Italian-style gardens, it offers tranquility from the bustling court.

As the pleasures of exploration end, the joys of a picnic begin by the Grand Canal. The day concludes with a timed entry admission to the palace itself, where you are free to delve into the grandeur at your own pace.

On this bike tour, you’ll be accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide who will enhance your experience with unique insights. The tour operator will provide you with an audio guide so you can learn on the go. The activity is offered in English and welcomes speakers of all levels.
