Palace of Versailles & Gardens: Trianon Estate + Bike Tour

Palace of Versailles & Gardens: Trianon Estate + Bike Tour

This full-day cycling tour takes you through the 2,000-acre Versailles estate, covering far more ground than a standard walking visit. You'll cycle through the formal gardens, explore Marie-Antoinette's private Trianon retreats, and gain timed entry to the palace's golden halls. The 90-minute bike ride lets you see hidden corners of the UNESCO-listed grounds while your guide shares stories of royal intrigue and French history.

Starting from Paris with roundtrip train transport, you'll pedal past fountains and tree-lined paths to both Grand and Petit Trianon, plus the Queen's Hamlet. A stop at Versailles outdoor market gives you the chance to buy fresh French food for a picnic lunch amongst the royal parkland. After exploring the gardens, you'll have reserved access to the palace interior, including the famous Hall of Mirrors.
