Your Experience
Because Versailles is only 16 kilometers (12 miles) from Paris, your meeting point will be near a metro station in the city before embarking on the Versailles bike tour. You’ll then ride the suburban rail together for around 30 minutes before picking up your bikes right across the street from the train station.
Your first visit will be at the famous city market, where you’ll stock up on picnic goods (not included) in preparation for a lunch fit for a King (or Queen!) once you’ve arrived on the grounds. Then, via a network of beautiful trails and tree-lined paths, you’ll cruise through Château’s immense park, halting along the way to explore the palace’s and the French monarchy’s rich history. Then it’s off to our picnic at the Grand Canal’s end, where we’ll have a royal feast.
You’ll continue through the grounds after lunch to see Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet and the area known as the Trianons, which were royal family pleasure homes. During their tenure in Versailles, visiting heads of state, mistresses, extended royal family members, and day apartments for the Queen were housed in the Grand & Petit Trianon. You’ll return to the front of the palace, put down your bikes, and enjoy your skip-the-line entry into the Château after touring these lesser-known but spectacular satellite palaces and Marie Antoinette’s contentious peasant town.
Once inside the palace, you may see the room where Marie Antoinette’s guards were assassinated while protecting her from the rabble at the start of the Revolution. You can walk inside the magnificent Hall of Mirrors, where King Louis greeted visitors and where the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, was signed decades later.
The Versailles segway tour takes you through the magnificent Versailles Park on a 1-hour or 2-hour narrated tour on segway, making it a fun and easy way to see the city. Ride along the Grand Canal, past the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, and Queen’s Hamlet, pausing for a breathtaking view of Versailles’ magnificent Palace. It’s a fun and easy way to see the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Versailles Park (Parc du Château de Versailles) while listening to your guide’s educational commentary. This small-group Segway trip has a maximum of 12 participants, ensuring a more customized experience.
