Spend a superb day cycling in Versailles from Paris, including a visit to the château, its gardens and the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon!
The Château de Versailles is one of the most emblematic châteaux in France and a must-see from Paris. Easily accessible from Paris by public transport, many visitors devote the day to exploring as much of the site as possible. But the best way to make sure you don't miss out on anything is to take part in a guided bike tour of Versailles, which includes visits to all the must-sees and takes in over 2,000 acres of the royal estate - something you couldn't do without a bike or a guide!
Your Unlimited Biking guide will meet you in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, at the Javel - André Citroën metro station, to take the RER C to Versailles. There, you will pick up your helmets and bikes, and begin your guided bike tour of Versailles! Before going to the château, you will take a stroll through the town's market to buy a picnic (at your own expense) for your lunch near the Grand Canal, in the magnificent setting of the Parc de Versailles overlooking the gardens and château. You will cycle through the gardens until lunch, then visit the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon and Queen Marie-Antoinette's hamlet. Finally, you will visit the château on your own, with a visit to the famous Hall of Mirrors.
Whether you are on your own, a couple, a family or a group of friends, this guided bike tour of the Château de Versailles from Paris will make for an unforgettable day!
