Walking Tours & Biking Tours in Paris


We have finally been able to add some new walking and biking tours in Paris. It has been many months in the works, but all are now showing at www.gotoparis.net

Some samples:

Versailles Bike Tour:
8 hours; 16.25 km
Le Chateau de Versailles awaits you in all its grandeur as you return to the time period of the most famous French kings and queens. Allow us to bring you the most famous "house" in the world as few others have experienced it. After meeting at our Paris office we'll ride our bicycles to the nearest RER station for the quick trip to Versailles.
Once at Versailles, we'll first visit the village market to buy baguettes, cheese, ham, wine or whatever you desire for our picnic later in the Chateau's gardens. We will spend most of our day riding through the tree-lined gardens and the average Versailles tourist doesn't realize that they can only visit a small fraction of the gardens on foot.

Private Walking Tour for Groups up to 8 persons:
Latin Quarter Walking Tour

Starting at the Pantheon, the resting place of the "Great Men of France", we will stop at the church St Etienne du Mont (Tomb of St Genevieve, Patron Saint os Paris) before walking to the Luxembourg Gradens to discover the majestic Luxembourg palace and stop at the statue of Liberty (the first statue created by Bartoldi). We will continue along the St Sulpice church (with inside visit) and to Saint Germain where we will stop for a coffee at the cafe des 2 Magots (where Hemingway wrote his "Farewell to arms"). Then we'll have a look at the church St Germain des Pres before finishing our walk at the oldest at the oldest cafe in Paris: cafe Procope whose "customers" were named Voltaire, Bonoparte, Danton, Benjamin Franklin or Oscar Wilde!

Paris is famous for its great museums like the Louvre and its impressive monuments, for example the Eiffel Tower, as well as for its boulevards like the Champs Elysée. But aside these world-renown sights Paris has got plenty of beautiful but hidden or inconsiderable spots that you won’t find in any guidebook.
