There is a lot of leisure time, breakfast, lunch, afternoon drink in between the bike riding and tour of the chateau. Thank you Stu and Niki for putting together an incredible itinerary and providing expert guides like Melly! Melly was our host, a history major has a huge fascination with french history, and enjoys guiding people along the way. Versailles is a very busy place.. you must must hire a good guide so your head is not spinning with the huge 50 person tours, this was a small tour, we were able to develop a wonderful rapport with everyone who joined and it was so much fun! even with a little bit of rain! I will be telling all of my friends about this wonderful tour!!!read moreread lessDaniel8/06/2019 - Making the decision to do this excursion was one of the best decision’s I’ve ever made...

Is it safe to ride a bike in Paris?
Paris: From City of Lights to City of Bikes!
Over the last few years Paris has been busy transforming roads into dedicated bike lanes. By bike we can safely explore the city and get up close to the must-see sites. We ride at a leisurely pace so you can take it all in and see more than you ever could by foot, bus or metro!
Since 2015, the city has invested over €150 million to develop protected bike lanes & areas free of motor traffic all over Paris. As of 2022, a remarkable network of 1094km is now fully equipped with these safe bikeways. Not only in the historical city centre, but the entire greater Paris area has been fitted with these new lanes which now total 2800km of bikeways (including one of our other favourite stomping grounds: Versailles!)
Paris now ranks as the 8th most most bicycle friendly city in the world & continues to climb the rankings!
