Our most popular day in Versailles, in a small group of up to 14, with families welcome alongside other travellers. We meet at Gare Montparnasse in Paris and take the train to Versailles together, with round-trip tickets included. In Versailles, everyone is fitted with the right bike: children's bikes, tag-along tandems and child seats are free, trailers are available, and helmets are provided. Shop like locals at the award-winning market for your picnic, then ride easy, mostly car-free paths through the Royal Gardens and fountains, past the Trianons and on to Marie Antoinette's Hamlet. Picnic by the Grand Canal with a view of the Château, and skip the line into the Palace on a guided tour of the Hall of Mirrors and the royal apartments. The riding is never more than 15 minutes at a stretch, with plenty of stops for stories of the French royal family that keep children and parents engaged all day. Whenever possible, we group families with children of similar ages together.
