Departing from Place Saint-Sulpice in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, this 3-hour guided bike tour takes you through the hidden backstreets of Paris's historic center in a small group. You will cover ground that would take a whole day to walk, including Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis, the medieval Marais district, Place de la Bastille, the Latin Quarter, and the Luxembourg Gardens area. Riding along low-traffic back alleys and bike paths beside the Seine, this flat course is tackled at a leisurely pace, making it easy on your stamina. With a local guide sharing the history and anecdotes behind each neighborhood, it’s the perfect way to get your bearings at the beginning of your Paris trip.

The tour begins at Place Saint-Sulpice in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Moving in a small group with a local guide, you will explore the hidden corners of old Paris that are often missed by tourists and hear the history behind them. The flat route focuses on quiet backstreets with low traffic, making it easy for anyone to follow along comfortably, even if they aren't regular cyclists.

After crossing Île de la Cité, head over to Île Saint-Louis, which has remained largely unchanged since the 17th century. Crossing the Seine brings you to the medieval Marais district, renowned for its Jewish quarter and LGBTQ+ friendly neighborhoods. See everything from medieval houses to trendy modern shops, and admire Paris's very first royal square and its grand architecture.

As you pass through Place de la Bastille, listen to stories of the legendary prison and the French Revolution (Bastille Day). Next, escape the city traffic to ride on dedicated bike paths along the banks of the Seine, where you will take a short break to enjoy the riverside breeze.

Cross over to the Left Bank of the Seine and pass by the cafes and galleries frequented by Parisians in the literary district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Around Odéon and Luxembourg, hear tales of kings, queens, revolutionaries, and Napoleon, and enjoy a break in a park loved by locals. Finally, ride through the old alleys of the Latin Quarter, home to the Sorbonne University and ancient Roman ruins.
