Overview

Discover the best way to get to Versailles from Paris: by electric bike rather than by train or bus. Accessible to everyone, even the least athletic, the electric bike helps you cover distances effortlessly.

You will follow a green route off the beaten path, through parks, forests, and villages. You will mainly use bike paths, trails, and some low-traffic streets.

At the Notre-Dame Point of Sale in Versailles, buy delicious fresh products to put together your picnic. Have lunch in the Château park while admiring the palace.

Visit the Hamlet of Marie Antoinette at your own pace. Your Guide will wait for you near the bikes.

Take all the time you wish to visit the Hall of Mirrors, the gardens, and the fountains of the Palace of Versailles. During your visit, your guide will bring the bikes back to Paris. You will then return to Paris whenever you wish, by train (€2.55/person) + €2 for the card if necessary) at your expense.
