You’ll shop for picnic food at the lively market, cycle along tree-lined stretches of the Grand Canal, explore both Trianon residences, and wander the Queen’s Hamlet’s dreamy pathways.

Itinerary
Your tour begins at Javel-André Citroën
You’ll meet your guide Outside of Starbucks located at "2 Rue de la Pépinière, 75008 PARIS". After boarding together, you’ll travel about thirty-five minutes to Versailles Rive Gauche, where your guide prepares the group for the day ahead.
Retrieve your bicycles
Once in Versailles, you’ll follow your guide to the bike pickup point near the gardens. Here you’ll collect bikes and helmets, grab any last-minute water at the nearby café, and learn how the route flows across the sprawling grounds.
Versailles’ outdoor market
Next, you’ll bike to the open-air market, a lively square lined with stalls of cheese, fruit, baguettes, and cured goods. You’ll have time to choose picnic items (food not included in the price of tour) while your guide offers tips on regional specialties and points out local vendors.
Ride to the Grand Canal
After leaving the market, the ride continues toward the Grand Canal, the seventeenth-century waterway designed by André Le Nôtre. You’ll pause for a photo stop as your guide explains how the canal once hosted elaborate court festivities for Louis XIV.
Picnic at the Grand Canal
This is your break to relax and enjoy the food you purchased. Settle along the upper edge of the water, where broad lawns frame striking views of the palace. It’s a calm moment to take in the scale of the estate before heading deeper into the royal grounds.
