Is it safe to cycle in Versailles?
It is almost as if Versailles was designed with our bike tour in mind. The majority of our ride takes place within the Royal Gardens, where we can enjoy stress-free cycling, far from the traffic and crowds. Outside of the gardens, cycle paths weave their way throughout the town and are set on the footpaths, away from traffic.

Do feel free to come earlier for a coffee & croissant to kick start your day. Once in Versailles we saddle up on bikes that are stored at our base in Versailles.
