Thanks to the electric assist, riding an e-bike is easy and comfortable. You’ll quickly leave busy streets behind, following bike paths and quiet roads for a relaxed start to your full-day adventure.
Parks, villages & forest landscapes

“Our experience with In Aeri was fabulous.”
Our experience with In Aeri was fabulous. It was one of the highlights of our Paris trip. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, and a fantastic guide (Renaud ). Despite road construction, and a park closure along the route, we were guided expertly through neighborhoods we would not have seen otherwise, to reach Versailles. A casual lunch in the town of Versailles and rest at the lake made for a wonderful day. We highly recommend In Aeri for cycling tours in Paris.

“The route from Paris to Versailles is lovely and Renaud makes sure to keep you as safe as possible while navigating the busier part of the trip - getting out of Paris.”
We were on a bike/barge trip from Amsterdam to Paris and once we arrived in Paris, we couldn't imagine visiting Versailles without an opportunity to ride there on a bike. We booked the full day trip and it was a delight. We were the only two people with Renaud and he made sure to deliver a highly personal day for us.

It was our first tour on e-bikes, and we loved it. The tour offered wonderful glimpses of the Parisian suburbs along the Seine. We rode through parks and nature reserves, where we hardly met anyone, had a picnic with a view of Versailles, rowboats, and swans. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Our guide, Momo, was also a real asset, with his expert knowledge, wit, and warmth. Highly recommended—and a nice change from taking the commuter train to Versailles. I almost forgot—the Palace of Versailles (incredibly crowded) and Marie Antoinette's Hamnet (moderately crowded) were also quite nice.
“Super activité! Momo connaît bien le sujet de Versailles. La promenade en vélo est très belle. Par contre il y a trop d’explications au début et au sujet des personnages de Versailles et nous avons manqué de temps pour profiter plus du marché. Le guide ne nous accompagne pas à l’intérieur du château. C’est la folie dans le château, trop de monde et trop chaud! Nous étions cordés comme des saissons en juillet.”

Response from in aeri
Merci pour votre revue. Vous avez fait le tour le 12 juillet pendant une vague de chaleur exceptionnelle. La direction a décidé de fermer le château 2h plus tôt. Nous nous sommes adaptés et avons raccourci certaines parties du tour pour vous permettre à d’arriver à temps pour le visiter. Vous remarquerez que vous n’avez pas souffert de la chaleur pendant la balade à vélo et le picnic.

We had a wonderful experience with Renaud. The E-bikes were in fine shape and handled the trip from Paris to Versailles very well. They were very easy to ride with multiple levels of electric assist available so you can choose how easy or hard you want to work. It was nice to see the range of locations from the City, through some forest areas as well as some of the suburbs in between. Renaud stopped at a few locations along the way and explained some of the history. The Market in Versailles is wonderful. It was a bit chilly when we were there, so the group decided to eat in the Market area rather than grab food for a picnic, but Renaud left it for us to decide.

“Perfect Day biking from Paris to Versailles”
My husband and I lucked out and did this tour on a perfectly sunny day in mid October with a fabulous tour guide. We were only a group of tour which we really enjoyed as we had personal attention. Biked out of Paris along a beautifully scenic path through the French countryside where we stopped at St. Cloud and learned the history of the park/castle. Headed through a small French village and ended up in the quaint town of Versailles. There we had time to walk around, peruse the lively market in its center and eat lunch outside. We then toured Versailles but biked to all the adjacent points of interest first and then headed into Versailles Palace. Thereafter we explored the outside gardens (stunning) and had a beer in a small quaint stand encapsulated in the garden area. Our guide explained how to return by train which was an easy walking distance from the palace and he took the bikes from us. This tour was extremely well planned and went without a hitch. One of our favorite days of our trip!!!!!

Adrien was fantastic. He was super personable and knowledgeable. And seemed to really enjoy being a guide. He didn’t steer us wrong-the gardens at the palace WOW! You need a full day just for the gardens. If you want to see it all you’ll need more time. We ran out of time and missed the courtyard of marble. The ride along the river and through the park was stunning. Overall great way to see Paris/Versailles off the beaten track. The ride quite pleasant. I would do this ride again. *Note, be aware of your limitations. You can’t quit the ride- you have to finish to the palace.

Fantastisk elsykkeltur til Versailles! Renault er en superbehagelig guide som ga oss en magisk opplevelse på (el)sykkelsetet. Han var hele tiden til stede og oppriktig opptatt av å gi oss en god opplevelse. For oss var nesten sykkelturen like bra som Versailles-slottet. Matmarkedet var et nydelig høydepunkt. Påfølgende piknikk på nedsiden av slottet, var helt fantastisk. Det er en grunn for at dette er koster litt mer enn andre sykkkelturer; fordi du får det lille ekstra. Det er det verdt!

Renaud was our guide and he was fantastic. He kept track of all of our group of 14 and made sure we were all clear on our instructions. He also gave nice little history lessons along our ride about our stops. The market was a highlight and we had a super delicious picnic along the Grand Canal. If you’re from the States, the produce you get is just more fresh than what we usually get at home. Requires moderate fitness level for sure and the ability to ride a bicycle in urban settings and on cobblestone and forest paths.

“Expect limited (but well-considered) tour-guide-talk, and lots of biking.”
This was a unique guided tour, starting from western Paris and joining bike commuters in the morning as we made our way out of town, through parks, and up into the hills. Expect limited (but well-considered) tour-guide-talk, and lots of biking as this tour takes advantage of the range of e-bikes to take indirect paths that let you see the areas where many mansions and palaces once stood, and then all around the parks and grounds of Versailles. If you know the good feeling you get having covered a lot of ground on a bike, and appreciate really being able experience in the way Versailles is situated away from the city experientially (which sets you up nicely to understand the troubles the disconnected monarchs got themselves into with the Revolution), this is a special tour worth considering. The only possible disappointment if you're not expecting is is that this biking-first, talking-light. Don't expect long and highly informative verbal essays on history, culture and architecture. This is about being there and experiencing the area on a bike, with sufficient but not extensive narration.

We had an amazing time and would highly recommend. Bikes were well maintained, and the ride was well organized. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Getting to see Paris and Versailles from a bike instead of a tour bus was a great way to get to see the area. The town of Versailles and market, as well as the picnic was definitely a big highlight. While there were crowds in the palace and gardens, it was much more private getting to shop and then eat lunch on bank of the canal. It was a highlight and a favorite of our trip.

Even in pouring rain, we had a ball. The tour operator will equip you with ponchos and pants and you will stay dry. Beautiful bike ride through countryside. Our guide was informative and took us through places that most visitors to Versailles would skip. The visit to the town of Versailles was great too as there you get an authentic feel of what it is to live in Versailles today. The market with fresh foods and flowers is a must see and taste. Tour includes palace visit and gardens. An all day trip that was worth it!

“Be prepared for some bumpy cobblestone though.”
Great tour! I went with both of my parents on this tour. We were all very exhausted after, as it is a long day, and needed a sitting break at a cafe before we went into the palace on our own. The e-bikes were easy to use, and the trails we went on were nice. Be prepared for some bumpy cobblestone though. The stop at the market was lovely, and the picnic outside Versailles was great. We loved this tour, but come well rested and ready to bike a long distance. We weren’t sore from the ride itself, as the pedal-assist was very nice, but it is still a tiring day. Would recommend this tour over a regular bike tour in Versailles, I think we got to see a lot of the beautiful countryside along the way that we would have missed otherwise!

We really enjoyed the e-bike tour, Adrian was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and shared historical sites along the way to Versailles, as well he shared much about the palace and the many gardens. Our group was larger than expected but he managed the group well. We had some light rain, rain gear was provided, which was nice.

Rio was a great guide. Kept us safe and was very patient with us. This was a great way to see the city and outside of the city. The stop at the market was fun and we had time to shop for our lunch. Back on the bikes and we had a picnic lunch looking at the palace and it was perfect. Wine and bread and cheese from the shops – it was a great experience. The top of the hill overlooking Paris was a great photo opportunity. Thanks Rio for an unforgettable day.

Amazing bike tour. Unique experience you feel traveling through the suburbs of Paris then thru a beautiful nature area. Loved the open Market and the fresh food was amazing. Olive spread don’t miss out. To picnic and be able to look up at the back side of Versailles was Magical. The guide and owner was so enjoyable and lots of historical facts. Very memorable

This was the highlight of our trip to Paris! It's a wonderful and easy ride to Versailles with many stops along the way to learn more about the history of Paris and Versailles. There were beautiful points of interest along the way. Our guide was phenomenal and shared a ton of fun and interesting facts with us. The market to shop at for lunch in Versailles was phenomenal and around the lake was a great spot to sit and chat with the other riders while enjoying lunch. We would highly recommend doing this tour versus a subpar Viator tour. LOVED this tour!

I highly recommend this activity to experience Paris/Versailles from a different perspective. The meet-up point was easy to find, the e-bikes were well-maintained, our guide, Adrien, was highly knowledgeable and fun. One of the highlights was the picnic by the canal after shopping at the local market. First I was sad about not biking back - but it turns out that there's so much to see and experience at the castle and gardens that biking back would have been too much. Taking the train back was a perfect conclusion of the day. Thanks so much to Adrien and the organizers in the background for the thoughtful planning and organization!

“Amazing bike to Versailles--must do!”
Our family of 4 (kids 13 & 15) had a wonderful day biking to Versailles with a group of 10. If you are comfortable riding a bike then you can take part in this tour. The e-bikes were in great condition and allowed you to work a little when you want but helped keep the pace without getting hot and sweaty in late June. If you have a group of 4 or more and want to control the speed of your tour a little more, I would recommend the private tour. With that said, I thought our guide was very accommodating to each party in our group. He took our family to the Palace sooner than the rest of the group as our boys were anxious to move along. On the tour you take a couple of brief stop overs to learn about little Versailles, see out over the city and to get lunch at the market. We opted to get sandwiches at Juliette's instead of gathering things for a picnic and they were great. You have plenty of time to get a small bottle of wine to enjoy by the waters at Versailles--I wish we had done that. After your time for lunch at Versailles you move into viewing a couple of places of interest and have time to explore Marie Antoinette's Hamlet (this was the part our kids wanted to skip). It would have been really nice to walk the gardens here--you have about an hour to do so. From here you go to the Palace and that is on your own from there. There are lots of places at the palace entrance to purchase water or a drink--on a hot day, this is very nice. We were able to explore some villages and great biking/walking paths on our way. This is a lovely way to get to Versailles, much better than taking the Metro both ways. If you have time in your schedule and want to do something a little unique, this is the tour for you. Good for all ages that can bike. Some reviews mentioned getting separated from the group. We certainly didn't have that issue at all and there were various ages (10-75 probably) in our group. Our guide was wonderful and kept up with all of our party. Hope you get to enjoy this tour also!

What a wonderful experience! The bikes and helmets were modern and spotlessly maintained. Our guide, Renaud had thought of everything. The bikes had two panniers, a picnic blanket and a rain jacket in case it rained. He made sure everyone was comfortable and their bikes and helmets were the right size. The ride was lots of fun, through the forest and along the Seine before we reached Versailles. It was a wonderful itinerary and the day flew by. We would highly recommend this tour. Renaud was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Five stars!!

I enjoyed everything about this tour. I met Renaud in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood in Paris. The bikes were well equipped and easy to use. We took a route which was off busy streets and through parklands. I’ve been to Versailles many times, however, Renaud showed me new sights I hadn’t seen. I had a beautiful day and would highly recommend this tour and especially Renaud!

“Mostly excellent experience”
The staff were so knowledgeable and helpful. I like that they split us into two groups, as our group of 6 was the perfect size. They outfitted us perfectly and led us on a route that was varied and beautiful, starting in the city, which must have been challenging to map out. The biking experience was wonderful, had a super visit to the market and a perfect picnic. All instructions were clear and questions were answered readily. Versailles was way too crowded with tours by the time we got there, unfortunately, though that is probably hard to avoid this time of year. I only gave it four stars because neither of the two tickets they gave us for our return metro trip worked! My partner had to buy a new one in order to enter the metro and I got trapped inside the metro and denied exit. These frustrations created an unpleasant ending to an otherwise fabulous day.
Response from in aeri
I am truly sorry that your tickets became demagnetized. Unfortunately, this is a common issue that all Parisians have experienced. That's why I emphasized at the end of the tour that tickets should not be stuck to mobile phones. They should also not be placed in contact with coins. I also pointed out that if this situation occurred, you should simply go and see the staff working at the entrance of the train station. They would have checked that the tickets had never been used and then let you through the barriers.
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to remedy this situation except to stop providing train tickets, which is not planned for the moment.

“The picnic in the park just outside Versailles is worth the bike ride alone.”
We had an amazing tour today! Overall it was about 8 1/2 hours with our guide, including the picnic and market shopping. Our ride through the city and throughout the French countryside on our way to Versailles was fabulous! The market where we stopped to shop for lunch was more than I could have expected. It reminded me of La Boqueria in Barcelona but so much better! The fresh fruit and vegetables! Delicious! Smart tip … bring some Euros to buy your food as the cost will be half compared to putting it on credit card. It cost us approx. 30 Euros buying meats, cheeses, veggies, fruit and bread at the various stalls. The picnic in the park just outside Versailles is worth the bike ride alone. Our guide gave us instructions to get through the Versailles gates and that’s where we parted. As usual Versailles is CROWDED, and we blew through in a little under an hour (we aren’t the stop and gawk type). The train ride back to Paris, about 25–30 minutes, was simple and it was about a 1 1/2 walkable mile from our hotel in Arrondissement 8. Overall highly recommend and would 100% do this again, just for the ride. ??

“I’ve been to Versailles a half dozen times and I’d say this was easily the best all round experience.”
This was a great trip. Went with our three teenage boys who all had a great time. The route out of town and into the park gives a perspective on Paris outside of the main tourist areas. We enjoyed just cruising on the bikes down major streets, secluded park trails and beautiful small French villages. The stop in the market was a lot of fun. You get about 45 minutes to walk around and pick out picnic items. We bought some cheese, meats, honey, sandwiches, fruit and wine (Renault was prepared with a wine opener and glasses). Following the market you have lunch on an open area of grass right along the water on the property of Versailles! Since it’s a ways from the chateau, it isn’t packed with people like it is when you get closer. Seeing the Petit Trionon was great and everyone loved the “queen’s hamlet”. I guess the only downside is that by the time we got to the main chateau we were pretty tired- it is a long day! Looking back though I don’t think there is anything I would remove. I’ve been to Versailles a half dozen times over the last 20 years and I’d say this was easily the best all round experience. If you’re looking to get out and do something a bit active and see Versailles a different way than most tourists, this is your trip! If you are interested in spending 5 hours at the chateau seeing every room and walking the grounds with 10,000 other people, you might want to just take the train.

“Leisurely experience”
It was a leisurely ride through parks, bridges, palaces, and office buildings. We got to see 'non touristy' Paris. Our guide was kind and generous. He answered all our questions, helped with putting together lunch, and had lunch with us. In the entire day, surprisingly the regular tour through the palace was the worst part, a repeat of painting after painting of random people, and huge crowds. The gardens were great. I am glad we could return by train, by e-bikes would have been difficult. Definitely recommend this to others.

“A Must Do - Just Book It”
Firstly, we had breakfast at the meeting point beforehand (Brasserie Madame Charles). They had fresh squeezed orange juice and delicious food. We were promptly met by our guide and provided an ebike, helmet, lock, and instructions for the day. The ebike ride left Paris followed the river, stopped at a few notable places, and rode through the woods before arriving in Versailles. Once at Versailles we explored a market and bought some food for a picnic on the lawn behind Versailles. Our guide we very knowledgeable knowing we’re the best and cheapest option were, and always knew where to find the closest bathroom and drinking water. We saw and learned much more than expected, even learning some French words and phrases. The tour ended by obtaining two tickets - a timed entry for Versailles and a train ticket back to Paris. Again, this very well structured, planned, and executed. This tour is a must do when in Paris and the best way to “experience” Versailles rather than just “seeing” it.

It was a really fun day overall! Easy ride on the electric bikes through the city, then on back paths through the woods and onto Versailles. Once got to Versailles, we parked our bikes and went into the market to get lunch. What fun going to all the various stalls and discovering all kinds of fun things to eat (and drink). We then rode our bikes to the gardens along the small lake and had picnic. The day ended with tickets to the Versailles and an easy train ride home. The guide was fun and engaging – really made the trip. Highly recommend this for a day-long experience.

This bike-ride to Versailles is a really wonderful experience. Renault, our guide, was thoughtful, patient and instructive, throughout the whole trip. What he has put together, is something quite unique. I am 67 and although very tired at the end of the day, managed the ride without too much difficulty. A warning however – if you haven’t been on a bike for a while you will be “saddle-sore” by day’s end. You get two “bangs-for-your-buck” with this activity – you get to see Versailles, and in getting there, you get something additionally special.

I have a five step commute to work so I was a little concerned about being able to keep up. This was not a problem because the E-bikes really help. I felt extremely safe with our group because our guide had thought of everything and was extremely safety conscious. This was such a refreshing tour going through all the tiny little towns on the way but more importantly for Versailles! The palace is enormous, but touring the expansive grounds really gives you a sense of the grandeur. I did this trip solo and it was a wonderful activity because so much of it was on the bike. We did get skip the line ticket to see the palace as well. The palace was so crowded as were most tourist attractions. This E-bike tour was great exercise and extremely refreshing. I loved going to the market to buy the items for our picnic. There were so many delicious things to choose from.

This was one of our favorite activities during our recent trip to Paris – it is a fabulous way to see sites outside of the city that we would never have known about otherwise. Adrian was a great tour guide and the e-bikes made the distance super easy. We had a little rain, but it wasn’t bad at all and the rain covers provided were a huge plus (we used them as blankets to sit on for the picnic). The only downside was that we had dinner reservations back in the city and had to head back soon after the guide dropped us for the palace visit. I would recommend planning to stay until the palace and grounds close so you can explore even more!

Thibault was Adrian's assistant, and he was wonderful, as well. Both gentlemen made us feel like a group of friends going on a bike ride. Delightful stops were interspersed throughout the trip, including stopping at a market to shop for lunch followed by a picnic along the Grand Canal. One of my favorites was the storybook village of Marie Antoniette's Farmhouse. The tour was full of magnificent views. This e-bike tour is a must-do if you are going to Paris.

“Beautiful and stress-free ebike ride to and around Versailles”
Renault was very responsive to questions even weeks before the tour and so friendly and informative on the tour itself. He gave very clear instructions about where to meet and showed up early. The size of the group was quite reasonable – 5 adults. Renault gave us enough information ahead of time about biking rules of the road in Paris and outside the city so we could feel confident as first time riders there, but he didn’t baby us or dress us in neon outfits as has been the case for many other urban bike tours we’ve taken. When one of our group’s bikes had squeaky brakes, he thoughtfully swapped out her bike for another he had stashed along the route – the whole thing took less than 10 minutes and was at a natural view point. I was impressed with Renault’s planning and easy manner.

We had fabulous day. Renaud was a wonderful guide and Paris is a truly bicycle-friendly city with bike paths everywhere. We felt extremely safe during the brief portion of the ride spent navigating out of the city. The bicycles are good quality, well-maintained and have panniers for ample storage. My bicycle developed an annoying squeak and Renaud was able to provide a speedy replacement as he has spares available along the way – such great service! The ride through St Cloud, the forest, Marnes, and extensive lands around Versailles was absolutely gorgeous. Being able to see the modern-day town of Versailles, and visit the market to choose our lunch with a picnic along the Grand Canal all made this so much more than a “visit a palace” experience. We really can’t say enough about this day and how much we enjoyed Renaud. His patience, kindness and knowledge made this an above and beyond, epic adventure.

Once you get out of Paris, the ride is mostly on toe paths, cobblestones & dirt paths. So expect a lot of bumpy terrain. But this trip is thoroughly organized & the day well-planned. And Reno gave us lots of good tips along the way. Highly recommend.

“Wonderful Day Paris to Versailles”
Renault our guide led us on wonderful journey through parts of Paris into the parkland, forests and small towns leading into Versailles. The weather was perfect, little chilly to start the day, so dress appropriately to the weather. Saddle bags are provided for storage. Group of 9 with varying ages from teens to late 70’s. Even though the bikes are electric (pedal assist) you need to be in decent shape and able to exert some energy as by the end of the day you’ll feel it! The cobble stone can be a bit tricky for a novice rider. A great day of adventure and would highly recommend. The only downside is that you don’t ride the bikes back to Paris (The ride is the best part of the day).

“This activity definitely takes the whole day from start to finish and you will be tired at the end of the day.”
This bike tour was incredible and a highlight of our time in Paris! The scenic bike tour was more enjoyable than the palace itself. Renaud is a great guide. The excursion includes the ebike tour, tickets to the Palace of Versailles and the Petit Trianon, and a one-way train ticket back to Paris. Save your stomach for the delicious foods at the Notre Dame market, where you’ll pick up food for lunch to enjoy picnic style at the gardens of Versailles. Renaud provides a blanket, but pack your own disposable cutlery/plates for added comfort. This activity definitely takes the whole day from start to finish and you will be tired at the end of the day, but it was worth every penny.

“E-bike tour from Paris to Versailles”
This was a highlight of our trip to Paris. We loved riding through the city, through parks, through beautiful quaint French Neighborhoods, through forests, and then to Versailles. We got some great info about the history of the area that we didn’t know, and we loved picnicking (and napping) in the sun by the canal. The bikes were really nice too. My husband and I bike a lot and appreciated having a guide to get us to Versailles on the safest and most scenic route. We would highly recommend this tour!

“Amazing Experience -- Book it!”
This e-bike tour was awesome. We have a 12 year old and a 15 year old and it was the highlight of their week in Paris. I was overly impressed with the experience. Having rented Lime bikes around town leading up to this event, I wasn't sure what to expect of the bikes we would have. These all seemed brand new and much better than the rental bikes around town. Super professional and dialed in on everything. We went on a day(3 per week) when the market was open so it was cool to shop for lunch and have a picnic down by the waterfront looking towards the palace. Renault is the owner and was our guide. It is obvious he loves this and it is super organized down to a blanket for your picnic and most of the riding is through parks and forest, etc. Riding there and train home was brilliant also. It's a long day, so riding back would be a bit much. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is capable of managing an e-bike! It was great!

Great bike ride to Versailles on bike paths/streets and trails through parks from Paris to Versailles. E bikes were comfortable and easy to use. Our guide was fun and made sure everyone had a good ride. Booking and meet up were easy. Lunch next to the canal of Versailles was wonderful with the food picked up at the market.

“The small village we stopped at to grab our lunch and wander through the village market square was an unexpected pleasure.”
My wife and I booked this trip at the last minute in early March as we were concerned about the weather in the winter season. Turned out to be one of our best days while in Paris.
First off, my wife and I are in our mid 60s and we bike regularly at home in the warmer months. We handled the ride without any issues. There are a few parts of the ride that have some steep inclines but the e-bikes made it very comfortable.
The route started a short distance from our hotel and about 15 minutes into the ride we were out of the city and on our way to Versailles.
Our guide Renault was fantastic. He was very personable and gave clear instructions on signals he would use to keep us safe while following him through city streets and traffic etc. He also provided lots of interesting insight at the places we stopped along the way.
The small village we stopped at to grab our lunch and wander through the village market square was an unexpected pleasure.
Once we arrived at our destination, the picnic resting along the reflecting pools of the Versailles palace was a nice way to end the biking part of the tour. When it was time to enter the palace, Renault took care of the bikes and gave use clear directions on the short walk to the train station and we were left to enjoy the palace and the town of Versailles at our own pace.
I've seen other reviews that mention concerns about cobblestone streets and the difficulty riding on them, I'll say, yes there are times where you're riding on cobblestone paths(typical for Paris) but the e-bikes we had were in perfect condition and handled the moderately rough terrain easily.
Our only regret was that the trees and flowers were not in full bloom yet but that was a decision we made to avoid the crowds in high season.
We would certainly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique way to get to Versailles and enjoy the ride along the way.

Renault was a good & patient tour/e-bike guide. We rode on comfy E-Bikes from Paris to Versailles & then he showed me around a bit before leaving me alone to tour the Palace. After that he suggested an amazing creperie before we went to see gardens nearby. Also, thanks to Renault for doing this tour even though I was the only one.

“Not exactly what I expected but brilliant nonetheless”
My 12 year old son and I recently did the Full-Day Electric bike tour to Versailles with Renault in early January 2025 and had an amazing day. It was one of my son's top 3 highlights from our two week trip to London and Paris. It was cold in January but we were blessed with spectacular weather which definitely helped. Before the tour started, I didn't quite realise that we were actually riding from Paris to Versailles (vs getting the train out and riding around Versailles) but boy am I glad we did. The route Renault took was beautiful and was the highlight of the day (yes, the ride was better than Versailles itself). As others have said, none of the riding is all that difficult if you are competent on a bike, but it would be challenging if you are not confident as there is some riding on road and cobblestones. But my 12 year old managed the 20km each way with no trouble whatsoever and LOVED the e-bikes. So if you like bike riding, want to see parts of Paris you otherwise never would, while having an excuse to pop into Versailles, then this is the tour for you. Thanks Renault!

“e-bikes are the way to do a tour like this”
This was one of our most amazing experiences in Paris. First off, our guide Renault was an impeccable host. Punctual, friendly, extremely well read and informed on French history, and perhaps best of all: prepared. When my bike got a flat he came back 5min with a new one, he made sure to have all the tickets to everything (and the ones with the shortest lines), we had to make a few adjustments to our itinerary for weather or crowds and he was 100% on it. Second, great hardware. I like pedaling as much as the next person, but e-bikes are the way to do a tour like this. It made it so much easier to enjoy the journey and Renault has wonderful taste in bikes. Third, the itinerary itself—you get a great taste of everything Versailles has to offer, from the gardens, to Marie Antoinette’s hamlet, the Notre dame market, and of course the palace itself. 100% would recommend.

“Recommended cycling trip, but with some room for improvement”
This is an amazing day journey if you would like a beautiful ride through the green spaces and charm between Paris and Versailles. The tour operator takes a creative route that you could never figure out in your own. We are very glad we went. The weakness of the tour was that our guide was quiet and offered little information along the way, and you tour Versailles on your own. Other bike tours that offer less cycling (take the train to Versailles and then get on your bike) appeared to offer more of an information tour. Also, an older woman on our ride fell twice and got many bloody contusions. (It’s not a dangerous ride, but there are cobble stones and various terrain issues that make it so that you should be comfortable and competent on an e-bike.) Our guide had a modest first aid kit, but offered no care or leadership. I stepped in to bandage the woman and take care of her. Also, no water is provided, so be sure to bring your own. Overall, I would say that it’s a great experience to be able to take this ride and I recommend it. You will see beautiful green space and charm that no other tourist sees, it’s just that there were aspects that could have been better.

The full day e bike cycling trip to Versailles was wonderful. The guide Nicolas was nice, friendly and informative and made the long trip quite enjoyable. The crowds at the palace were unbelievable.

On the bike it was stunning to see the contrast between the parkland nature, the relaxed and modern outer Parisian suburbs and the ornate historical Versailles. The palace itself was breathtaking, and visits around the grounds enriched the whole experience. Renaud’s enthusiasm and organisation were relaxing, the bikes were super simple to use and we got plenty of time on our own to explore at each stop. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour – a fun, good value and entertaining day.

Cycling through the forest was incredible! Unfortunately to get there one of the cyclists had an accident which delayed us over an hr, and the guide was amazing in looking after her while the rest of the group waited, which was ok. He was quick in response and refiguring the end of the day, which we all had to take the train back to the bike shop. I liked how he was already making some decisions about how to assess potential riders abilities in advance of ride day, as this girl was a very inexperienced in cycling

Hi, thank you to take time to write a review.
I remembered very well that day. The girl who fell didn't know how to brake on a bike. She was very lucky because the first little downhill was on a park. And she fell in the brush.
If she had make a Paris bike tour inside the city, it could be much more dangerous with cars.
She was not injured. Good bless.
Your review is an occasion to say anybody : don't do a bike tour if you don't know how to brake or if you have balance issue on a bike.

If you have teens, definitely do this. Our guide was excellent. Our Paris to Versailles tour was scheduled on a day that rain was trying mess up our plans, but our guide watched the weather closely- he rearranged our schedule enough that we managed to be inside the Palace or at the local market each time it rained. It is a short visit to the palace and gardens, but a longer visit would not have been truly appreciated by my 3 teen boys. This was exactly what we needed to experience Versailles and not have “bored” teenagers. I’m already planning to do the other tour of Paris next time we go. Great experience- and none of us are e-bike owners (or even regular bike people)- we have been on e-bikes one other time, but these bikes were easy to use and made the trip to Versailles easy.

“I was a little nervous about riding e-bikes with my daughter, however, the bikes were the perfect size for us and easy to use.”
I booked this tour with my 12 year old daughter on the recommendation from a friend. We had an amazing time and it was the highlight of our trip to Paris! I was a little nervous about riding e-bikes with my daughter, however, the bikes were the perfect size for us and easy to use. We had light rain that day, however, it was still comfortable to ride. It was somewhat of a blessing as it kept us nice and cool that day, especially since we were riding for quite awhile. Anyone that takes this tour should be physically fit enough to be on a bike for a couple hours at a time. Although we took a few breaks, I was glad that everyone in our group kept up with each other. They also provided the appropriate helmets and rain gear that was clean and kept us dry. Renaud, our tour guide, was very pleasant and friendly and was quite knowledgeable of the various sites we visited and all about Marie Antoniette's life. We enjoyed learning from him!
Since it was rainy, instead of a picnic, we stopped for lunch at a beautiful market that had all kinds of special goodies to choose from. When we finally arrived at the palace, we were blown away by the intricacies of the architecture, the gardens, the art work, the furniture, it was the epitome of what you would hope to see it a beautiful palace in France! After our tour, my daughter shared that this was one of the highlights of our trip to Europe. That's a pretty special statement coming from a 12 year old, especially when we visited with several friends throughout our 3 week tour. We are grateful for the "once in a life time" experience and will highly recommend this tour to our friends!

“Ebike roundtrip to from Paris to Versailles”
It was a great experience! For me (just a recreational part time cyclist) it was a long (26 miles rode and 9 hour day) day. The ebike was a big help for me in not getting too fatigued. The bikes themselves were very good quality and condition and after a few miles of riding were easy to use efficiently. The tour traveled over all kinds of terrain from busy bike lanes in the city, to designated bike paths along the Seine, to dirt, gravel, cobblestone through the forest and city streets of Versailles and the grounds of the Palace. I would not recommend this tour to an inexperienced or beginner cyclist. I thought the different terrains and conditions and speed of our group was intermediate to advanced difficulty. Our guide did a good job of keeping everyone together and safe while maintaining a fast pace. Besides the bike ride, we toured several areas of the Palace on foot. We shopped in Versailles for lunch supplies and had a lovely picnic. The tour company even supplied picnic blankets to all the riders (Nice touch). There were also some gloves provided to keep your hands warm as it was a chilly day. Obviously, bike helmets and bike locks were provided to each rider. A real plus for me was the large saddlebags each bike was equipped with that could hold your backpack, water, jacket etc. Our group was small (just 10 of us) and all older adults...no kids. All in all it was a great experience for me!

Beautiful e-bike tour with a wonderful guide, Nikolas. The views were stunning and the bikes in wonderful shape. Versailles, once there, was self-guided however. I thought for some reason that we’d have a personal guide for the entire tour, even in the grounds. But we managed and I have to say that I would definitely do this again. Don’t underestimate the water needed! You will want to stay hydrated and feeling tiptop. Shopping at the market prior to the group picnic was another highlight of this experience. It was so fun! The cities and forest driven through on the way aren’t to be missed, and the Palace itself is incredible. Highly recommend for anyone adventurous and who can ride a bicycle.

“Know what you're in for....”
Renaud responded right away and was very accommodating when we needed to reschedule our bike tour. The tour itself was good, but a bit treacherous. We were riding on city streets our guide Nicoli would go through green lights but after crossing did not wait to make sure everyone got through the light. Being in the back of the group, we got stopped on several lights, and a couple of times the group was out of sight (one time we started going the wrong way because we couldn't see where the group went). It was a bit stressful trying to stay with the group while trying to be safe riding Paris streets on a bike. The off road trails were very scenic, but rough—cobblestone or many tree roots required close attention to not get a tire caught up. (There were 2 people who fell during the tour.) We were up for this adventure, but it was more stressful than we anticipated.
Response from in aeri
Dear Wesley, thank you for taking the time to write this review. I find it a bit harsh, but it has the merit of allowing us to improve. I'd like to reassure you. At no time has Nicolas lost sight of you. The traffic-light crossings to which you refer are positioned on a long cycle path where the group goes straight ahead for 30 min, skirting the river.
Traffic lights change from green to red quite quickly in Paris. It's logical that when a group of 8 people cross streets on their bikes, the people at the back sometimes have to stop. They wait for the next green light.
In this case, the guide stops the group 50 meters after the intersection so as not to block it. This situation may have made you feel stressed in an urban environment. But if the guide hadn't waited for you, you wouldn't have been able to catch up with the group. You wouldn't even know that at some point you were heading in the wrong direction.
As for the 2 falls, they involved people who slipped almost at a standstill. In front of the Château de Versailles, climbing a sidewalk, and at the entrance to the forest, passing a barrier. Fortunately, no bandages were required. We exchanged ideas internally and decided to mark more pronounced points of attention in these areas to avoid slipping.

Our trip was amazing! First of all, Renault was a great host, very knowledgeable and super friendly. My wife and I had a great experience leaving the city on the e-bikes (the e-bikes are amazing). The views at places we stopped along the way were impressive. We took so many photos, we had great experiences and this was all before we even made it to Versailles. The palace was incredible (a must see in Paris) the views were amazing. Renault did a wonderful job taking us around to different stops.

“We rode a dangerous trip there, zig zagging in between cars and pedestrians for probably 45 min.”
We were so excited for the electric bike ride to Versailles…and then so disappointed! We rode a dangerous trip there, zig zagging in between cars and pedestrians for probably 45 min. We finally go to Versailles but went to numerous other places, and when we asked if we could go inside, the response was “we won’t have time”. When we got to the stables (which was one place along with the Versailles Olympic stadium (for horse jumping) I definitely wanted to see, again “we don’t have time”. By the time we finally got to the main palace they wanted us to go to the gardens but we held firm and said “no we will be going into Versailles. It was packed with people, but amazing!!! We are so glad we went inside first, before the gardens!! My suggestion is to GET TO VERSAILLES AND RENT BIKES ON PROPERTY OR A GOLF CART AND SEE THE SITES! We didn’t get to spend enough time and missed a lot!!! Then had to take the train back with our bikes because it was so late and weather was coming. 8:30 am – 6:30 pm a long disappointing day!
Response from in aeri
Dear Priscillia,
I'm very sorry you didn't enjoy our tour. I think there is a misunderstanding between what we offer and what you expected. One of the major interests of our tour is to discover the way to get from Paris to Versailles through parks, forests and villages known only to the locals.
You took the tour on a Sunday morning. The streets are deserted on Sunday mornings. From the point of view of crowds on the bike path, conditions were nevertheless very good.
When our guide learned that you like horses, he logically told you about the Olympic Games stadium at Versailles. He showed it to you from afar. He also told you about the King's stables just opposite the Palace of Versailles.
And I'm glad he did. We're a team of nice people and we like to please our customers.
But unfortunately, we're not communication consultants. When he tells you that there isn't time, it means that these visits aren't part of the tour. But if there had been extra time, he would have been happy to take you to see them.
We have deadlines to meet and can't add visits. The day is already full. You would have had to book a private tour and then we could have adapted.
Just so you know, there's no problem if you've chosen to start the tour with the château and not the gardens. In fact, this is the order in which we normally organize the tour. If your guide suggested starting the outdoor tour in the gardens, it was because the rain had stopped. From our point of view, it made more sense to visit the gardens first. And to stay dry enough to visit the château when the rain started again.
The weather forecast also predicted rain for the return journey to Paris. I therefore took the decision myself to return the 2 groups by train for safety reasons.
Still, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to the château.

“With an electric bike, I did not find it difficult at all and only have moderate physical fitness.”
I had a really fun trip with Renaud. I was a solo female traveled but felt very comfortable with the group who were all couples. The bike tour itself was ~20km each way but I decided to do only the onward journey on bike and returned by train. With an electric bike, I did not find it difficult at all and only have moderate physical fitness. Would recommend to anyone who would love to do something different apart from touristy stuff.

The tour was amazing, we struggled a bit as we have not rode a bike in over 10 years but we got the hang of it as we got going. We saw more of Paris than we would have any other way that day. Also had some very good photo opportunities as we stopped. The guide was excellent as he explained each stop and recommended places to eat or photos

“Paris - Versailles Bike Tour”
Amazing experience! Renault (sp?) was an engaging and friendly host. The equipment was well maintained and functioned perfectly. The ride was picturesque and well planned. Be aware that the trip is about 50 miles long. Even with the electric assist, the trip was a wee bit strenuous. However, this didn’t in any way detract from the ride. Highly recommend!

“bike lanes or quiet roads and of course forest roads”
It was a fantastic trip with bike lanes and forest tracks nearly all the way. I had been worried beforehand about cycling in Paris traffic but turned out to be bike lanes or quiet roads and of course forest roads. We had good e-bikes as well, so no issues either with the distance of 40km round trip. It was a full day and I was glad I’d booked a taxi both ways from my hotel to the meeting point. It was the highlight of my stay in Paris. I’d say it was a trip for people who enjoy cycling.

“One of the absolute best experiences of our entire trip to France was our picnic lunch in the grass under the shade trees along the Grand Canal.”
Riding our ebikes to Versailles was a wonderful way to see some of the off-the-beaten path views we would not have seen had we taken a tour bus. The day is long but there are many stops along the way to enjoy nature and to view Paris from afar atop a hill. The trip to Versailles is mostly uphill but the pedal assist takes care of that for you and you are fresh at the beginning. The trip back to Paris is a fun, mostly downhill trip with lots of opportunity to just coast and enjoy the ride. One of the absolute best experiences of our entire trip to France (and we attended Olympic events) was our picnic lunch in the grass under the shade trees along the Grand Canal. We would have found it perfect to have spent the remainder of the day at that spot watching the boats row by. Renaud, our guide, was warm and welcoming. You will feel confident riding even if this is your first time on an ebike. He knows how to navigate the route, which is mostly off the beaten path, often through woods and garden paths. You will bike a few short stretches in the city, but the roadways are bike friendly and Renaud is an expert guide. Time in the palace itself is somewhat limited but we found it just enough time as we were there in the heat of August and, not being air conditioned, we moved through as quickly as the crush of tourists would allow. We still had time to enjoy the gardens before beginning the return ride to Paris. If you are considering this tour - do it! It is suitable for all types. Our group had three young men in top physical condition, two women near retirement age, my 64 year old husband, an athlete in good condition, and me, an overweight and out of shape 62 year old woman with knee and foot issues. I was last getting up some of the longer steeper portions, but in no way did I slow the group down (that's the ebike working). I own an ebike, love it, and I can't recommend this tour enough. I bet it would be spectacular in the fall.

Pedaling thru the greenbelt, along the Seine, arriving to Versailles from the back and seeing things I had never seen before made this a wonderful trip. The Trianons, the Hameau, the gardens and the Hall of Mirrors/exhibitions are all included. Additionally, choosing my own lunch from the market and having a knowledgeable guide was the cherry on top! This is the BEST way to enjoy Versailles.

“Unique and picturesque full day tour ”
Two kiwi women mid fifties thoroughly enjoyed this wonderfully unique day of Paris and Versailles. Even on a 37 degree day, we were relaxed due to the route often being under the beautiful canopies provided by the trees. Highlights include cycling along the Seine, through the Parc of Versailles and other surrounding parks and streets. Picnic lunch under the trees at Versailles with new friends and delicious French market delights was amazing. We thoroughly recommend this tour. You must be able to manage the e bike and come prepared with appropriate clothing, shoes and water. Renaud our guide was patient, flexible and accommodated all requests and needs, including toilet stops. The bikes are well maintained and easy to use. Turbo was helpful up a couple of hills. This is mostly a flat terrain bike ride. There are cobbles and some street corners that need careful navigation. We had no issues at all and strongly support this three year old company. A magnificent day outside enjoying France. It is a long day but the ride back was mostly downhill and the breeze was lovely. Oh… the palace is sublime too.

Our guide was outstanding! Renaud met us at a cafe and told us our schedule for the day. He then walked with us to fit us to the ebikes. They were already charged up to 100% and we each had a picnic blanket, rain jacket, panniers, and a helmet. He knew so much about the history and spoke to us in very clear English. We went so many places and we were given plenty of time to see it all. So great! Highly recommend!

“You’ll be on a bike for 4 to 4.5 hours”
This was a unique experience and the highlight of our trip to Paris. You get to see a side of France you normally wouldn’t on a trip to Paris. The bike tour starts in Paris but you’ll quickly shift to traversing through parks and forests before getting to Versailles. Over the course of the day, you’ll bike ~25 miles (e-bike with assist) and walk 4-6 miles depending on what you want to see in the Palace of Versailles. The ride there is a more strenuous (uphill) than the ride back, so make sure to take advantage of the electric assist on the way there. You don’t really need to use it as much on the way back. The forest areas can be very bumpy on the bike, and you’ll definitely feel it on the way there. My only constructive feedback for the tour operator is to get better bike seats (if possible). You’ll be on a bike for 4 to 4.5 hours and will definitely feel some pain on your behind if you aren’t an experienced rider. All in all, an excellent trip.

“A highlight of our family trip to Paris”
Our family of 4 (2 adults 2 teens age 16 and 14) had a wonderful e-bike adventure trip to Versailles. It was a highlight of our two week trip to France (4 days in Paris). Renaud was an excellent tour guide for our group of 7 (small group-lucky!). We spoke English and French and he could guide us well. We stopped at a marché to get our picnic which we had on the banks of the water in the parc of Versailles. We toured the village of the Petit Trianon. The bikes were in excellent shape and really fun and easy to ride (use turbo mode in the alleys leading up to Versailles and any hills and you will zoom). Our guide knew the history and struck a great balance of giving us space but guidance when needed. A super day, and yes it is a long day and well worth it! Highly recommend for families with teens where museum tours are best mixed with some adventure.

This e-bike tour from Paris to Versailles was such and amazing experience. Renault was a wonderful guide throughout the entire day. We are a family of 4 from Texas and did this day trip with our 2 daughters ages 13 and 15. It was an excellent way to see Versailles but just make sure you are a fit and healthy family who enjoys being active because you are either on a bike or touring/walking ALL day. We loved it, and were completely exhausted at the end of the day :) Our e-bikes had side carriage bags to put your backpacks and a picnic blanket and Renault provided rain jackets just in case. You can buy food at the farmers market in Versailles and have a picnic lunch on the water.

“Highlight of our trip!!!”
Amazing trip!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking to have an active day and truly experience Versailles and the surrounding area! We were in Europe for nearly 3 weeks visiting a number of major areas and this tour was in our top 3 of favorite things we did during our trip. It’s a full day, 8:30am to 6-7pm, but we got to see and experience so much that we otherwise wouldn’t have. Our tour guide, Nico, was incredible at providing direction, leading us, and checking in along the way. There were a number of stops on the way out to hit the major highlights. While around Versailles, we got to pick up lunch at the local market, eat in the park next to the water, see the Queen’s hamlet, tour the palace, and walk through the gardens. There was a slight hiccup with my garden ticket that cost an extra 10 euro, but the guides reimbursed me immediately upon arrival back at the starting location. This trip is certainly not for those looking to have a chill day, as it is 22 mi in total and a fair bit of walking, but if you’re up to it, I would highly recommend this tour and our guide, Nico, who was happy to answer our endless questions! Highly, highly recommended!

“An adventure of a lifetime”
We wanted to stay active during our vacation so we could enjoy more fine French fare. This day checked all the boxes! Our guide was skilled and had a superior knowledge of the long, winding, and ever changing bike route to Versailles. We really enjoyed experiencing the Saint Cloud and national forest areas. We stopped a couple of times to see sites, but it was important to stay on schedule. We loved the hour break at the market area to get picnic supplies. Everything was so good! We enjoyed the picnic time next to the Versailles lake and the opportunity to see lots of school kids having a fun day at the park. Our bikes were great and easy to handle. It’s VERY important that they fit you before the long ride - you don’t want the seat too short our you will get a sore bum. There are lots of cobble speed bumps through the public parks but honestly we would never have seen so many beautiful spaces if we had not taken this e-bike ride. Versailles is impressive and immense and because we were a little behind schedule, we will return to see more of the grounds. On our day in early July, there was a security issue so we had to wait an hour before they opened up the palace. It gave us some time to walk around the city of Versailles. We really liked having a few minutes to shop at the VV Perfume concept and pharmacy stores a block away! Versailles is absolutely stunning. We loved the Hall of Mirrors and our selfies. I did struggle a bit to make it back, but I did it! Next time we will visit Marie Antoinette’s hamlet and the gardens. One of the coolest things was seeing the construction of the Olympics Equestrian venue. I highly recommend, but helps to be prepared for a long ride - be sure to wear comfortable clothing, pants, shorts, etc.

“You need some cycling skills for this trip as it covers all kinds of terrain”
We had a great adventure riding the bike paths through Paris to Versailles. The bikes were high quality and in good condition. The guide was helpful and patient with everyone. You need some cycling skills for this trip as it covers all kinds of terrain from smooth street paths to cobblestone and rocky dirt paths, going through narrow gates and avoiding objects. I am an experienced rider and still had a slight crash going through a narrow space between a large rock and a pole. Nonetheless, it was a great adventure and a moderately challenging ride with the electric-assist bikes.

“Great experience but you must be a competent rider.”
This tour will definitely fill an entire day and you will be exhausted. I’m glad we did it because it was really the best way to experience riding around like a local. It was a good mix of destinations and we enjoyed the market/picnic part. I wish we had more time at Versailles but that could easily fill a day alone. The only caution I would note is that if you take children, they should be older and experienced riders. Some members of our group had to drop out because the children had trouble. You are definitely in busy traffic for some parts. Our daughter did fine but she is a teen and has an e-bike of her own.

“Beautiful ride with a consummate guide”
Renaud outfitted the group with great quality bikes and we were in our way, expertly threading the urban bike lanes, to the path along the Seine and then into a series of tree lined parks, gardens, forests and picturesque towns. The pacing of riding to the market, “facilities visits” and picnic stops was well calibrated, important for a 9 hour day. The planning nicely balanced the group cohesion while riding, and independence and self-pacing during the museum visits. Our guide pre-purchased tickets that smoothed our entry at the various sites. Renaud was informative about the history and culture of our tour, and his warm and friendly demeanor made it a very pleasant experience.

He was also beyond prepared, with ponchos for us and the bikes, as well as a weather resistant picnic blanket for the lunch behind Versailles. The market to grab lunch was just amazing! True cultural experience in itself! There was plenty of time to walk the most important items in Versailles, and honestly we were ready to go by the 2hr mark. The bikes make it way less strenuous – you still have to pedal but there is a ton of help for hills and inclines.

Dear Thomas,
Our tour focuses on a long electric bike ride. We've deliberately kept our explanations to 3-5 minutes at each stop, so as not to overwhelm you with 10-15 minute monologues. But we're always open to questions and happy to talk to the small minority who want to know more.
As for picnic utensils, we provide a blanket to sit on, a knife for cheese, paper napkins, cups and a corkscrew. Our customers are generally very satisfied with these little extras, and we sincerely regret that they didn't give you complete satisfaction.
We also carry a wide range of equipment for repairing and securing bicycles. Space in our panniers is limited. But we'll take your comments into account in future developments.

Excellent experience. Our guide Nicholas was very good. The e-bikes make make this tour accessible to anyone. Once out of Paris, it is a very nice bike ride through St. Cloud national park, the small town of Marnes-la-Coquette, and then through a forest near Versailles. Picnic lunch on the grounds of Versailles next to the canals (after visiting a local fresh market) was very charming.

“Excellent Way to Versailles”
Been to Versailles 30 years ago. Taking an E-Bike tour from Paris center to Versailles is a totally different experience. First, the E-Bike turbo boosts your pedaling so going uphill is a breeze. Riding thru the city gave a different perspective on Paris living. Parts of the ride go thru a forest which the kids loved.
Buying some picnic supplies on the way, we ate in one of the expansive parks in Versailles. Never would have ventured this far from palace without E-Bike. Visited the outer palaces (Trianon) that would normally be too far. Finally, entered the main palace which was the envy for all of Europe
Bikes were much better quality than the city E-Bike. Even without power, the gears are smooth and with shock absorbers
One thing to watch - I went to wrong meetup location initially as I looked at address on confirmation email. Make sure you check for the meetup address

“What You Need To Know!”
Great way to get some exercise, fresh air, adventure with a local and to see beautiful Versailles. We arrived at the meeting point via Metro and walked about .8 miles to cafe to meet the group. The ride is 80% on designated bike trails along waterways and lush green forest. The electric bikes make the 15 miles (one way) relatively easy. Renaud was very organized and planned the trip down to the smallest detail. He supplied rain gear, bike locks, helmets and picnic blankets. We went to a local market to shop for food and a beautiful waterfront spot at Versailles to picnic. We then walked up to the front of the line to enter Versailles where we had time to tour on our own. When a thunderstorm hit, he got us tickets for the train back to Paris. Plan for an all day adventure to log in your memory bank.

Great tour although the weather was chilly and on and off rain but for most part weather held out. Definitely recommend tennis shoes and clothes to bike in including rain jacket, hat to cover ears and gloves are a must if it’s weather like we had, overcast and 50s. Guide did provide helmets and rain coverings for legs if was really rainy but we didn’t need them with misting rain. This is quite a bike adventure, it’s 25 miles total on e-bikes with a decent amount of off roading, hopping curbs and some dicey terrain. Our guide was great! It’s a really long day, Versailles is super crowded but our tickets did get us in a little faster, but if you don’t like crowds or touristy things I would not go. We had free time to explore indoors and outdoors. It was overwhelming to take in with so many people and so much history and so much to see. Could definitely be done in smaller groups as our group of 10 was quite large for such a long ride. Met some great friends in our group. We were all Americans and 4 other people in our group were from our town in the US randomly!

“Best ever e-bike tour!”
This e-bike tour was amazing! It was a highlight of our time in Paris. I would most definitely recommend this to others, a fabulous way to see the countryside and Versailles. Also, this tour is owned and done by a local so he made sure everyone is safe and enjoying themselves. It was so nice that it was a small group of us too (5 people). The e-bikes were also in really good condition. If you want a fabulous e-bike experience, do this tour!!!

100/10. Total success. Renaud has thought everything through. Clear instructions and communication beforehand. High quality e-bikes. It was a cold, blustery day, and he provided high-quality rain ponchos and warm biking gloves. He was patient with people who were new at e-bikes. Most of the trip was through beautiful countryside. At Versailles, we had time to stroll the gardens and then went to a fantastic outdoor market for lunch.

We really enjoyed the e-bike tour which was well organised with a great route to Versailles mainly along cycle ways and forest trails. The destination was brilliant. It was quite big day for us both in our 60's but easily manageable, espcially with the route back to Paris being mainly downhill!

“Paris to Versailles & back by e-bike - what a fab day out”
This was a really fun trip which we booked at short notice. So glad we did.
The meeting point was easy to find and the good-quality E-bikes were really good to ride.
Reno, our guide, was great and handled a few unexpected issues ie route closures, puncture etc very well. The whole day was well structured and Reno gave us lots of details along the way.
We booked to go on a bank holiday weekend and so Versailles was seriously overcrowded but all in all we had a great day of which the bike ride through the woodlands, small towns and, yes, even Paris itself was the highlight.
Highly recommended.

“Picking out our own food for the picnic on the palace grounds was icing on the cake.”
Modern Trek e-bikes and a great way to spend a whole day on a bike from Paris to Versailles and back. Picking out our own good for the picnic on the palace grounds was icing on the cake. The e-bikes were the great equalizer for some with limited experience, but if you are not comfortable on a bike for a few hours, even though the seats are very comfortable, you may want to pass on this excursion. Worth every penny!!

Our full day electric bike trip from Paris to Versailles was fantastic! Renauds information prior to the trip was detailed and he was very well organised on the day! We were very lucky as the other couple didn’t arrive and we had a private tour with Renaud. The bikes were very good (mine was brand new) and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride out of Paris along the paths and streets, then through the forest park, cute village and into the town of Versailles. We loved shopping at the local market for a beautiful picnic lunch to eat on the canal at the rear of the palace. Renaud was a kind, attentive host/guide and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day. This excursion was a highlight of our trip to Paris! It is a MUST DO! Thank you Renaud!

“Gotta do this tour, way cooler than taking a bus to Versailles!”
Awesome way to get to see Versailles! A scenic ride through the park and forest and the town of Versailles. Way better than taking a bus. The electric bikes make it easy if you aren’t athletic and need a little boost. Good for all levels, there was a bomb threat so we weren’t able to go inside the palace, but our tour guide was great and took us on a cool tour of the city and another scenic way back. Tour guide was awesome, made sure the group was all together and was full of interesting facts.

I would do it again in a heartbeat, but I would spend my time in the gardens and skip the palace.

“Heads up !”
Heads up - This is NOT a leisurely ride. I am an experienced biker and this ALL day tour was a challenge. An older couple seemingly in good shape dropped off along the way. Another person fell on a steep down-hill cobble stone road. There are stretches of riding on main roads with heavy car traffic both outside and through the streets in the city of Versailles. Without any safety (reflective signs) provided away from the dark blue helmets. And everyone in the group wearing black. Thankfully we went on a clear sunny day with visibility. I would absolutely suggest to study the weather forecast before booking and Absolutely DO NOT do it on a rainy day (as it is advertised as “rain or shine”). That would be both extremely unpleasant and seriously Unsafe. This activity should be advertised more responsibly and transparently – maybe rethink the tour for safety and communicate the level of physical agility required and above all provide some safety gear / signage / vests. At the moment this is one expensive high risk adventure.
Response from in aeri
Thank you for taking the time to provide this review.
At the start of the tour, I noticed that an elderly lady was having a serious problem balancing on her bike. I therefore logically alerted her and her husband that it wasn't safe to do the tour. In the end, they decided to take the train to Versailles. I feel I acted responsibly and did my job properly.
As far as the visibility of participants is concerned, I would like to point out that in rainy weather I supply fluorescent yellow waterproof capes. All bikes are equipped with front and rear lights.
I'm sorry that the traffic in the streets of Versailles scared you. But most of it is on cycle paths. Few cities in France and Europe have such a fine infrastructure as Versailles. Many mothers pick up their children from school on cargo bikes. I know that some participants have a real phobia of cars when they cycle. I meticulously planned my route to avoid cars as much as possible.

“Awesome experience and semi-athletic, invigorating way to earn your Versailles trip!”
This was one of our favorite experiences on this trip to Paris. We lucked out on very warm, beautiful weather in mid-October. Renaud was a great trip leader and guide. The round trip was about 36 miles and included a visit to a great food and goods market followed by a lovely picnic by the grand canal. This was my first experience with electric bikes and glad to have the assist on some of the hills and cobblestones. We kind of bailed on the interior of the main halls of Versailles due to the overwhelming number of people. I will spend more time in the gardens the next time. We are both very experienced cyclists though that is not necessary. What is necessary is recent familiarity with biking, balance, some level of physical conditioning and good footwear (no sandals or loose shoes). Minimum is good solid sneakers and knowing the front from the back brake! Pack appropriate gear (rain jacket, a layer depending on weather, sunscreen, sunglasses) but don’t overpack, bike bags provided. Eat a good breakfast beforehand and be sure to eat on the midday break.

“A really fun way to visit Versailles!!”
The tour was great! Renaud was a wonderful guide, friendly and knowledgeable. If you like to ride bikes and be outside this is a great way to go see Versailles rather than cab, metro or walking. We had a wonderful ride through the city streets and beautiful countryside trails. We stopped at a lovely Market that had everything you would need for a picnic lunch along the canals surrounding Versailles. Versailles itself was very very crowded and the audio guide was hard to follow. However, visiting Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet area was pretty cool. We would highly recommend this tour!

This was a wonderful tour heading from Paris to Versailles. Our family wanted to take a safe bike ride, enjoy a picnic, and visit the palace, we accomplished all these with this tour. Our guide, Renaud was top notch in his knowledge and professional experience in guiding us through the city. A few caveats, the ebikes assist wonderfully, but there is elevation throughout the city and some roadways are uneven, some biking experience would benefit, our teenage daughter did great. This is a MUST on your list of To Do's in this great city.

Excellent tour which lasts all day (not back till 1815 or so). The bikes are so easy to use. Great guide. We loved the market visit and picnic. A great way to see the Palais. Tips for future customers - take water and a jumper (even when forecast amazing weather as it can be chilly first thing on the bike). Suitable for confident riders - my teenage daughter would have loved it (no idea if children allowed) but my ageing parents would have found it a bit much.

This tour is an all day, all adventure tour. Be ready to ride around Paris, through the streets with people and cars and everything else in your way ?? The guide will take you through the forest and on small paths covered with trees. A bit of an off road excursion. Nothing dangerous but if biking isn’t your thing be aware. The tour starts off with two hours of riding then lands at the street market to purchase lunch and explore a bit. Lunch was by the water picnic style. Blankets were provided. Very pretty. The tour of Versailles was about two hours long and self guided. Be ready for crowds… but totally worth it. All and all the experience was great ????

Brilliant but long day. Loved the cycling and the tours of the Palace. Bikes were good, easy to use Would definitely need some cycling experience due to all the different types of terrain you encounter. Guide should explain that many of the cycle paths are two way. Also felt the group of 14 was just a little too big, we couldn’t all get through the traffic crossings in one go. Would have liked the group to interact a little more eg all introduce themselves at the start.

A lovely day. Left early. Takes a while on Metro to get to meeting point, there is a cafe so worth going early. Renaud was fun and had lots of interesting info. Was lovely to bike by the Seine through lovely parks. 16km to Versailles. Bikes were excellent and comfortable. The highlight was the market in Versailles, incredible fruit, boulangeries, coffee. Had the best figs I have ever tasted, sitting on the lovely lawn at Versailles. Was great to explore the gardens as well as the chateau. When inside, don't get trapped by all the rooms, the Hall of Mirrors is clearly the highlight. Incredible opulence that shows why the monarchy came to an end.

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”
What an awesome experience! HIGHLY recommend this activity for anyone visiting Paris or visiting areas. Renaud was kind enough to just take my partner and I out on a Friday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The e-bikes have three various boost settings you can change to your preference so the trip through the city, through the woods, and up and down the hills were never overly stressful (which was great since it was 95 degrees in Paris/Versailles that day). Renaud is such a great guy - friendly and knowledgeable. He gives you plenty of time to shop in the market, take a picnic in the Versailles garden, and the two hours for the palace was the perfect amount as time as well. He’s also thought through all the details from bringing cups and a wine opener to giving us an ideal amount of time at each destination (at the palace, at the incredible market he took us for lunch, and beyond). HIGHLY recommend this experience for anyone visiting Paris or visiting areas. Book Now and Enjoy!

“The farmers market in Versailles where you buy your own picnic lunch was my idea of heaven.”
This was one of only two activities we booked in advance of our week in Paris, and I’m so glad we did! It was our favorite day! The e-bikes themselves are really good quality bikes and super fun to ride, clearly very well-maintained. The paths through wooded areas and small towns were just beautiful and we never would have been able to find them on our own, so it was great to just get to follow someone without paying attention to navigating. The farmers market in Versailles where you buy your own picnic lunch was my idea of heaven: copious options for fresh fruit, cheese, meats, breads, wine (the guide has a wine opener and some cups on hand!), and picnicking on the grounds of the palace was beautiful (he even provides blankets). I actually found visiting the palace the least interesting part of the day (sooooo crowded, but that’s just me). Only two tiny little recommendations I would add: having a knife and some napkins on hand for the picnic would be helpful, and make sure you bring plenty of water (and then buy more at lunch). Refilling water bottles didn’t seem to be an option anywhere.
We’re avid cyclists in New York City, so for us the cycling through Paris to get to the countryside was fun and not stressful at all, but some others on the tour with less city riding experience were a little uncomfortable with the very busy traffic on the way home. However the tour guide does a great job of making sure everyone gets through all the intersections and no one gets left behind, so you are in good hands!

The tour was a lot of fun. I went with my 17-year-old twins and we ended up making some really nice friends and had a wonderful day. I will say that you definitely want to wear incredibly comfortable shoes and wear layers. I didn’t wear enough clothes and I was cold even the end of July it was quite chilly as you’re in and out of sun, etc.. One of the bikers got a flat tire and we did have to wait for a while but it wasn’t a big issue.

Brilliant day out. The bike ride was exciting - from riding through Paris traffic to riding on single track! Beautiful scenery. Lovely to stop at a market where we had 45min to buy ourselves a picnic lunch which we enjoyed in the park facing the Palace. Nice way to see the Palace which was in all honesty, just the sideline for us. Had enough time for quick walk around but if you want more time at the Palace & Gardens, you should rather go there for the day by public transport. A highlight for our active teenage & older kids.

“a great mix of active biking and relaxing picnic time”
We had a wonderful experience on the Versailles ebike tour with Renaud. We were looking for a unique experience in Paris with our teenagers, and this fit the book perfectly. There was a great mix of active biking and relaxing picnic time, and it was fun to ride through a forest so close to the city. The Palace of Versailles was as busy as ever, but we had enough time to explore what we wanted to see. If touring the Palace at length is a priority, this probably isn't the experience for you, but for our family it was perfect. Thanks Renaud!

“Amazing Day with Great People!”
We had a wonderful time on this bike trip to Versailles. Ronald was an amazing guide and very patient with us all. I recommend this to anyone wanting to go to Versailles. Going to the market and having a picnic was my favorite part! Ronald was also very communicative and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. You have to fit this into your Paris itinerary!

“Fantastic time!”
Loved seeing different areas between Paris and Versailles by bike, with fresh air and exercise combined with forests, parks, markets, the palace and villages. A picnic beside the canal with food purchased from the market was a treat ! Renault provided the blanket to sit on and shared a bit of the history and info about what we saw. A fantastic day all around, although would have opted to spend more time around the Palace gardens rather than take the long and crowded tour of the Palace (which once you start it is difficult to get out any quicker).

“Great ride even with a bit of rain”
Great ride on Sunday despite the rain. Thankfully the rain capes that Renaud provides do the trick really well. It was heavy rain for about 30 minutes out of the day and I came home dry so don't be scared off by a bit of rain in the forecast. Renaud is a great guide and the ride itself is gorgeous. Once you're out of the city and into the forests it's very peaceful and quiet.

Renaud was the ideal guide for this full day bike tour. To get out of the busy city was a joy. And the ride through the streets, and the forest, and a small village was so much fun. Lots of bike paths so mostly no mixing with traffic was great. The market at Versailles was lovely, and we bought some delicious food for our lakeside picnic at the palace. Highly recommended for a truly memorable day. Gareth.

“The electric bikes worked great – just enough exercise to feel good about myself, but not enough exertion to be dripping with sweat heading back into Paris.”
This was a full day, and it was so much fun getting to travel to Versailles on something besides a bus. We stopped at a couple "looked over" spots en route, and we spotted for picnic food at Notre Dame Market in Versailles before lunching on the Grand Canal. What I really liked was that, once inside Versailles, we were "let go" for 2 hours. We didn't have to stick close to the flag like that obnoxious groups inside the castle. I appreciate that he kind of gave us the history as we went to Versailles, so that we could be set free once arrived. At Versailles, the Queen's Hamlet is a MUST! Straight out of a Disney fairy tale (or is it the other way around?). The electric bikes worked great – just enough exercise to feel good about myself, but not enough exertion to be dripping with sweat heading back into Paris. Highly Recommend!

We loved our bike tour from Paris to Versailles. Our guide was friendly and made sure the group was safe biking out of Paris. The stop at the market was a real treat, wish we could have bought more but it didn't make sense on bikes. We had 90 minutes to tour the palace and gardens, if we did it again we would have spent more time in the gardens and less in the palace. So glad we booked this tour.

“Great Experience - Highly Recommended.”
We visited Paris in April and decided to book this tour, loved it so much that when we returned with our children in July, we took it again.
The tour in April happened during the rainy season but this was not an issue as we were provided with waterproof overalls which kept us
dry. Both the April and July tours with Renaud were amazing. The e-bikes provide the necessary boost to get up-hill easily. Once out of the city, the forest paths are super nice and peaceful, the tour stops on a lovely street market where you can find all sorts of locally made cheeses, charcuterie, fresh breads, wine, etc. The picnic that follows, take place in the gardens near the water channels of the Versailles palace, a super relaxing experience. The tour then takes us to small Trianon palace - highly recommend doing a very quick tour of the palace itself - it pales in comparison with Versailles Palace - and instead focus in the gardens, especially taking the time to walk around the village far to the left, that area is unique, beautiful and unlike anything else you will see in Paris tours, feels like the french countryside. The Versailles Palace is next and having done this twice with this tour, I would highly recommend starting the tour on the King’s State Apartments/Hall of Mirrors. Time is limited and there are two ways of doing the tour: starting with the Princess's and Queen apartments and then following with the Kings apartments or vice-versa. We found that starting with the Princess’ quarters - which are considerably less impressive than the Kings apartments- does not give you enough time to admire the best part of the palace. On out second visit in July, we focused all of our time in the Kings apartments, skipping the Princess’ apartments all together - no regrets.
The return bike trip is easier, mostly down hill.
We love this tour, Renaud is super attentive, communicative and prepared. We highly recommend this tour.

Such a beautiful day! At times it was challenging to make it across streets with our large group and the last ones across weren’t always sure what to do. Not sure how to avoid this, but it was a little stressful. The place for the picnic was great! At Versailles, we thought we were supposed to have an audio tour, but never found how to access it. That would be a good piece of information to get from the guide. Renaud was very nice and way to be with as a guide.

Enjoyed biking to and from Versailles. It does not allow too much time to see Versailles. Lunch at the market was awesome. Great food of all types available. Visiting the 2 other palaces was a bonus. Could have used more instructions on navigating among cars and pedestrians. Friendly guide. Using the E-bikes was great for this length of trip. It’s not a good trip for a novice bicyclist.

“shopped at the open air market”
Such a unique and fabulous 9-hour day! We felt like locals as we cycled 25 miles round trip on back roads, bike paths, and forested trails from Paris to Versailles; shopped at the open air market (so many wonderful food choices!) & stuffed our bike bags with food and drinks, then picnicked beside the Grand Canal. Be prepared - the focus is the bike ride, no time to dilly dally as you follow Renaud and enjoy the scenery. The Palace of Versailles audio guide mobile app is provided ahead of time so you tour the palace and gardens on your own (with times set to meet back at the bikes) and can listen to the app before, during, or afterwards. Truly one of the best action-packed Paris adventures I could ever have imagined!

“Great experience!”
The bike ride was fun! The stop in town at Versailles was super cool to shop for your lunch in the market and then transport to the palace for a picnic. It is worth noting that this is a mountain bike experience as large part of it is through the Forrest and zipping through busy streets. It would not work if you have anxiety or even if you aren’t good on a bike. It is also worth mentioning that the e-bike is pedal assist and not throttle support. That may make a difference depending on your comfort level. All in all, it was a good time.

“Great bike ride fun”
I did this e-bike tour to Versailles on my own (daughter stayed in Paris for some shopping time). I had a great time on this tour. The cycling was easy - rarely needed to use the electric motor but when I did use it was mainly for fun! Our tour guide, Reno (apologies if that’s mis-spelled) was very informative and always cheerful. He was especially good at keeping a close eye on 12 people of varying degrees of cycling ability. I estimate more than half the trip was through two national parks which made for a very quiet and serene ride. The stop at Versailles market and then lunch in the palace grounds was delightful. Forty years since I last visited Versailles so this was more a memory jogger. Handy hint: this is a real 8.5-9 hour tour so don’t make plans for the evening. I highly recommend tour. Thanks, Reno.

“One of the best memories of our trip to Paris!”
TLDR: If you want to see Versaille, this is the best way to do it. Fun, memorable, interesting sights, and as long as you are even a little fit, you can easily manage the biking part. I was a little nervous about 1) being able to keep up the with the group and 2) traffic, but both turned out to be non-issues. I am not a regular biker -- I walk/hike around 4 or 5 miles a couple times a month, and that's it. Hadn't been on a bike since before COVID. And this trip was just fine. The electric bike helps you up the few hills and you can change the settings to put in more or less effort.

“Take a unique journey from Paris to Versailles!”
The tour was a unique way to experience Versailles and so much more. It is great for active people that do not want to spend the entire day at Versailles. I was pleasantly surprised that much of our ride was on paths in a peaceful forest. The stops along the way were interesting. The market and lunch in front of the palace was a great way to spend a few hours. The guide, Renaud, made sure the group stayed together on the ride. He is knowledgeable and well-organized. The ride was close to 30 e-bike miles and we walked about 5 miles. You should be able to handle a bike in an urban environment and on wide gravel paths in the forest. It was nice to be in the fresh air and see sights we would have never seen had we taken a more traditional tour to Versailles. I highly recommended this tour.

“Bike paths were always clear and Renault did his best to navigate us using the safest route.”
Renault was great guiding the group through the streets of France and through the woods. His electric bikes were great and as comfortable as possible for a long bike tour. For anyone who has biked before, you know your bum is going to feel sore no matter what. The ride out to Versailles was very relaxing as we started around 9:00 and there was not that much traffic or people. He took us by the Seine and through the parks with great shaded trees. Bike paths were always clear and Renault did his best to navigate us using the safest route. We would ride for a while then stop at various sites which allowed everyone to get off their bikes and enjoy the scenery. Our favorite part was going to the market where we could buy our food for a picnic at Versailles. The market was bustling and had all different types of food and produce. We went from the market to Versailles where we had 1 hr for picnic lunch which Renault provided everyone with a picnic blanket. After lunch he gave us 2 hrs to tour the inside and garden of Versailles. If you have never been, it is something you should do. Only downside is it is very crowded and can be hot inside. After Versailles we stopped at Marie Antoinette’s castle and was able to tour that. It wasn’t all that impressive. Then the ride back was a little more difficult because everyone was out and you had to dodge people and traffic which Renault did his best to pave the way for everyone. There were some parts where you were going downhill on cobblestone which was rough on the bum and palm of your hands because you are riding your brakes all the way down the hill. I would not say this is a beginners bike tour as you definitely need to know how to manage and ride a bike. The terrain is not very difficult but navigating the tight paths with people walking was the hardest thing. We loved the experience and would recommend.

“It turned out to be a 10 hour trip due to some mechanical issues on one bike but he managed to take care of it efficiently.”
We had a great day on the e-bike tour to Versailles. The meeting place was easy to find and close to Metro station. Renaud was very personable and knowledgeable guide. It turned out to be a 10 hour trip due to some mechanical issues on one bike but he managed to take care of it efficiently. I would definitely do this again.

“Do not hesitate to book this day out ”
This is a wonderful day out, if you are staying in Paris. Do not get the train!
You get to see and hear about parts of Paris & Versailles you wouldn’t normal get the chance to.
And it’s so easy to ride the electric bike.
We really enjoyed the journey and the market to buy our picnic, more than the Palace itself- which of course was very busy.
The guide thinks of everything- picnic blankets, waterproofs, even cups.
Definitely recommend.

“nowhere in the description did it say we would be riding 22 miles round trip”
The trip from start to finish felt very rushed. 9 hours seems like plenty of time, however, nowhere in the description did it say we would be riding 22 miles round trip. I don’t consider that ‘moderate’ activity unless you are an active cyclist. We had 45 min for lunch, 20 min to ‘discover’ the gardens of Versailles, and 1 hour to go through the castle. We stopped at another smaller castle where we had 45 min. The rest of the time we were riding the bikes at a pretty fast pace. The distance traveled on the bikes was way too far to enjoy ‘sightseeing’.

“Best day of our week in Paris.”
A week in Paris and this trip was easily our favorite experience by a long shot. The tour was from 850am-630p, but with E-bikes not at all exhausting... nobody need feel intimidated. Inside Versailles is insanely soul-crushingly crowded, even in April... talking public transportation or fighting traffic in a vehicle would compound the crowd based exhaustion. Whereas taking a bike makes a pleasure out of the coming and going. ...Including enjoying the open market in the city of Versailles, rolling through parks and forests, and rolling through the grounds of Versailles. Also enjoyable was cycling through non-tourist parts of Paris (not pictured due to not so safe to film with iphone in city). The cycles were new and in great repair. Our host was easy going yet attentive, and deserves your business... he curated for us a 5 star experience. At daphnedevi on YT is a wee film if you like to see :).

“Very well organized e-bike tour from Paris to Versailles”
Another full five bullets on Renaud’s scorecard. First of all, Renaud was quick to respond to answer to our requests, the e-bikes are in perfect condition, the ride is most enjoyable and interesting, and guaranteed to get you a great day out of (and back into) Paris. The total ride to Versailles and back was about 40km, quite easy to do for anyone used to riding a bike. Renaud adapts his program to the conditions of the day. It was too cold for a picnic so he recommended a couple of restaurants to have lunch. We picked one he had tested and liked, and it turned out great. Renaud keeps good track of progress and timing, taking into consideration that we had a dinner booking in Paris that night and ensured we were back in time. When a girl in the group was unfortunate to fall off her bike, he still made sure that the rest of the group arrived at the palace in time for their slot while the girl was cared for, and then returned to pick her up so everyone completed their tour without delay. If there is anything Renaud could improve on, it is getting the historical information across to the group, although he is ready at all time to answer questions so there is really nothing to complain about. Great experience, so much more fun than taking the train to Versailles and take a local bike tour there, definitely recommend to all who are ready for a full day outdoor tour that includes skip-the-lines access to the palace and gardens. Anyone who is used to riding a bike (like us, Dutch), the ride is really a piece of cake. Even switched the bike to zero support for large part of the ride (the electric motor is at the rear wheel, and responds to a rotation sensor - so it pushes as soon as you start turning the pedal; not the nicest kind of e-bike to my personal taste, but condition was absolutely perfect so no worries).

Renaud was a fantastic guide! Everything was exactly as expected and more. Such a unique way to travel to Versailles. I felt we had a perfect amount of time at each location and we loved hearing some history before going off to explore. Renaud took care of the tickets and details. All we had to do was enjoy! He even lent me an extra pair of gloves because it was a bit cold out. Thank you for watching out for us and giving us a fun and memorable experience!! We’ll remember it forever!

“Unique and wonderful way to Versailles”
What a great way to travel to Versailles!! Even tho it rained on the way back, our guide was fully prepared with rain gear for us to wear while riding. It was a small group, which was also nice. I also loved that once we arrived at our destinations, we were able to explore on our own and had plenty of time for everything. I would warn that this ride might not be for super inexperienced cyclist and you should have some stamina. I would definitely recommend this experience.

“Great guide able to adjust to all kinds of unexpected circumstances!”
We had a fun ride through Paris suburbs along the Seine, through a beautiful park on Ile Saint Germaine. The first stop was at Parc Saint-Cloud, the site of a former castle and still beautiful grounds built by Louis XIV for his party-animal brother, Philippe d'Orleans. Gorgeous grounds complete with grazing goats, horses, and panoramic views of Paris. We navigated a quiet village, then hit mostly flat dirt trails through a forest. In the town of Versailles, we picked up hot lunches at the Marche Notre Dame and picnicked before hitting the palace. Sadly, social unrest caused the closure of the palace (a strike not announced until we had arrived). Our guide quickly changed plans and took us to see a few sites before taking us back to Paris. Our guide refunded the cost of tickets to the castle and took us around Paris instead. The electric bikes really helped with the few hills, but people do need to be in moderate physical condition and be somewhat comfortable on a bike. The guide took us safely through a few busy spots in Paris itself, careful to make sure we all made it through each stage. One of our elders in the party was not up to the physical demands, but the guide was able to adjust, park the bike, and assist our elder to take the train to meet us in Versailles. We we sorry to miss Versailles chateau this time, but it was truly beyond our guide's power to prevent a national strike, and we enjoyed a great day regardless. Highly recommend!

Renaud makes a 5/5 great tour! Definitely do this. Picturesque and great energy. You will not see more of Versailles in a one day trip. If you want to see more in depth - recommend staying in Versailles to spend more time at different sites. For a one day trip that covered it all with a fun bike: PERFECT!

“Our Favorite Day in Paris!”
Gorgeous bike travels through the Parisian woods and parks. Our favorite part of the day was shopping for our picnic lunch at the market in Versailles then enjoying it by the grand canal. The E-bikes are very nice and make the trip easy for anyone (we enjoyed our trip with an older couple in their 70’s and they completed the trip easily). The is the best way to get to and see Versailles. A must do for first timers or anyone returning to visit. Renaud is extremely nice and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend!

“Cycling from Paris to Versailles is made easy by Renaud and his guidance on electric assist bikes. The route is mostly through trails in forests and parks, and it was always safe.”
This is truly an excellent experience! As long as you can ride a bike, you can do this!
Cycling from Paris to Versailles is made easy by Renaud and his guidance on electric assist bikes. You can ride them like a normal bike with 8 gears, and when you need a ‘boost’ you can add the electric assist. You’ll never break a sweat, and you’ll feel like super human going up hills so easily!
The route is mostly through trails in forests and parks, and the few sections on roads have cycle lanes. It was always safe.
The bikes are like new, as is all the gear.
The tour itself is very relaxing. You’ll visit different places, go to the market to buy your own choice of a picnic lunch, then a short cycle to a lovely spot by the river to enjoy. Renaud shares some history and facts, and at each tourist site we went around at our own pace (without him or the others) and met back at the bikes after. So it was quite relaxed and chilled.
The ride back to Paris is mostly down hill.
Wear comfortable clothing for cycling, and you could consider gloves depending on the weather.
We were two teens and one adult, with us for the bike trip were four other adults, including two solo travellers.
We spent almost two weeks in Paris and this was our favourite day!
Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time in on our e-bike tour of Versailles. Great guide and fun ride! Loved it! We were a difficult group but Renaud didn’t make us feel like it. We had a few complications with one of our riders and she wasn’t physically able to do the tour but he made last-minute accommodations with a local cafe for she and her husband to wait for us and showed them where to go to meet up with us at Versailles and then he arranged lunch at a beautiful restaurant for all of us. Once at Versailles he helped us get around and showed us where we needed to go and gave us time to look around. It was a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend!!

Renaud was a fantastic guide! A perfect day, biking from the outskirts of Paris along the beautiful French gardens and countryside to Versailles city and the Palace itself. Renaud was an extremely flexible and gracious guide overall. The highlight was stopping at the market, buying delicious bread, meat, cheese and wine and lunching with Renaud on the gardens of Versailles. Learned tons from my trip with him. Don't let the lack of ratings deter you -- he just started this tour a couple of months back. What matters is that they're all 5 stars, deservedly so.

What a great alternative to standard transportation to get to Versailles! The experience is incredibly interesting as we discovered not only Versailles (definitely majestic!), but also a gorgeous parc we rode through, full of history itself with beautiful water cascades and a pretty little village, so French. We drove through a parc and roads hidden by trees and woods, away from the city crowd. Electric bikes allowed to climb some steep slopes with little effort. Our guide was super nice and very alert to the group. Thank you again for making this experience unforgettable for both of us!
