Alicia R.
A wonderful experience! The Grand Canal tour is really worth it. I highly recommend all the activities!
Nassima Z.
Incredibly pleasant ride, and a very affordable price ... But the little extra is the more than warm welcome and service offered by the staff! Many thanks to Lény, Alicia and all the others! Don't hesitate to have a drink on the terrace opposite!

A bit of a wait
But the service is great.

Bikes are available and affordable. There's nothing special about the bikes, but they're just right for exploring Versailles' magnificent outdoor gardens.
Roberto Fernández P.
There are still kind and good people in the world. I had a 2:30 ticket to visit the Palace of Versailles and they were kind enough to take care of my bike during the time it took me to visit. Thank you so much for your help!
Roland S.
Super friendly staff... Easy to rent... Bikes in good condition... Anti-theft devices and helmets at no extra charge on request... Maybe a bit expensive, but still correct for the location... Great experience!
Esperanza M.
They are very friendly and the walk in the gardens of Versailles is very pleasant.
