Full description

Explore the 2,000-acre grounds of the Palace of Versailles on a full-day bike tour from Paris with a entry timed ticket, and discover the unrivaled opulence of the Sun King’s royal residence. Following your transfer from Paris, start the day at the farmer's market in the town of Versailles. Select the produce you want for a picnic lunch later in the day, choosing from the mounds of cheeses, fresh fruits, charcuterie, and more. Then, it’s time to cycle the landscaped grounds of the Palace, cruising effortlessly from one picturesque spot to another on lightweight aluminum bikes.

Your guide will take you to the outhouse chateaux of the Petit and Grand Trianon, and show you Marie-Antoinette’s private village and farm. Pedal through sumptuous landscapes, ending with a look inside the Chateau of Versailles itself. Here, you will be given plenty of time to focus on what interests you most, explore at your leisure. Feel free to take a rapid tour in 30 minutes, or loiter for 3 hours to marvel at the Hall of Mirrors, Marie-Antoinette's bedroom, the King’s Royal chambers, and more. Learn about the life, legends, and scandals of the decadent Sun King (Louis XIV) and Marie Antoinette, and the resulting French Revolution that brought about the beheading of the French Royalty.

We (myself and three adult family members) took this day trip in mid-September and had a very good time. Seeing Versailles by bicycle is great in that you get to see more than just the main chateau and immediate surrounding grounds. The other sites were interesting, especially the little village. Getting time to obtain lunch food from the local market vendors was an unexpected plus! Our guide was very friendly and knew enough to answer most of our questions. I'd recommend this trip to others.

Fantastic memories made! It’s a long day but oh so worth it! Jonathan was an outstanding guide with a great sense of humour. Exploring the grounds on our bikes away from the serious crowds was just fab… and even the rain shower stopped just in time for our picnic. It’s hard to convey how special this experience was… thank you!🌟

We had an excellent guide Arnaud who was humorous and very helpful. The day was fun but it was exhausting and not helped by the weather unfortunately. We could have had more time in each place we stopped especially at Marie Antoinette's house. As by the time we found our way to the sites advised we had to come straight back. The bikes also need gears so that when going up hill its not a struggle. But apart from that i highly recommend this tour. It was lovely to see Versailles the town and eat at a popular crepery there before heading back.
