Next, you'll ride to the Palace of Versailles and discover its beautiful grounds, packed with pretty tree-lined paths and winding trails. During the bike tour, you'll stop numerous times to learn about the fascinating history of one of the most famous monuments of world heritage.

Once you get to the Grand Canal, park your bike and enjoy a delicious hand-picked picnic. With your energy restored, cruise through the grounds to visit Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet and the Petit Trianon, a small château commissioned by Louis XV of France. Afterwards, make your way to the Palace of Versailles, where you'll be handed skip-the-line entrance tickets, so you can avoid the endless queues and walk straight in.
