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 location 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. We had a little time to explore the Trianon area of the Palace grounds before heading over to the Main Palace. We were left near the entrance to the main Palace so we could explore that on our own. The train back to Paris was easy to manage. All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience for us.
Perfect e bike trip

Renaud was a great guide, he guided us safely on well-equipped e-bikes along beautiful paths from Paris nac Versailles and introduced us to French culture without riding around on data. The program was varied and there was enough time to let the pompous buildings and garden work on us. We felt very well looked after and can highly recommend Renaud!
Amazing dsy

Get to experience the most beautiful country side on an ebike, followed by delicious fresh produce from a local market which we then enjoyed as a picnic in the grounds of Versailles.

We really enjoyed this trek with e-bikes. Lovely journey first through Paris, a French neighborhood, a wooded area and then on to Versailles where we purchased lunch at a market and had a picnic by the water in the amazing garden. Super romantic location…doesn’t get better! Went to the petit palace and the grand palace. This is a full day!! Don’t miss the garden at the grand palace. Stunning!!
City's best bike tour - pleasant and local-known guide!

Fantastic electric bike trip to Versailles! Renault is a super pleasant guide who gave us a magical experience on the (el)bicycle seat. He was constantly present and sincerely concerned with giving us a good experience. For us, the bike tour was almost as good as the Versailles Castle. The food market was a lovely highlight. The subsequent picnic at the bottom of the castle, was absolutely fantastic. There is one reason why this is costing a little more than other bike rides; because you get that little extra. It's worth it!
Fun and delicious trip to Versailles!

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. We had a wonderful time and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an active way to explore Versailles and the more rural/countryside views from Paris.
One of the best tours in Paris
