Mobile ticket
Starting from the Beaubourg area, jump aboard your bike and set off on a discovery of the historical center of Paris located on the right-hand side of the River Seine. Begin the tour in the hip Marais quarter with a visit to Village Saint Paul, a village in the center of the liveliest of cities. You'll also get the opportunity to visit the most beautiful of all the royal squares in the capital - the Place des Vosges with its prominent residents. Cycle past the Picasso Museum before enjoying a break at one of the oldest markets in Paris. Your tour guide will tell you more about the controversial Buren Columns at the Palais-Royal as well as the glass pyramid in the main courtyard of the Louvre. Your tour will finish on the unmissable Seine Islands, the Ile de la Cité (where Notre-Dame stands) and Ile Saint-Louis.
If you select the Seine cruise option, we’ll provide you with a ticket for a scenic river cruise. The boat departs from Pont Neuf, 10–15 minute walk from our bike agency.

5.00A magnificent ride this morning with the bikes in a small group, guided by Jean-Baptiste. He told us golden nuggets of the history of Paris, he showed us royal squares and at the same time small squares, hidden like small green islands. We liked it a lot! Thank you Jean-Baptiste!
Awesome time

5.00Our guide had a very good knowledge about the city and it's history. And the bike tour was very interesting as we crossed lots of streets and it was very busy with people. Obstacle course but fun. Will do it again ☺️

Paris from another angle

5.00Great visit from Martin who made us discover the Marais. My favorite part, I have too much: the small talk about the monuments I often see, the visit to the red children's market with choices of restaurants for everyone (especially take the Bissap in Corossol! A very refreshing drink) and the speed race in the tunnel that I did not expect at all but liked. I didn't find it too long or exhausting (which was one of my fears).
A beautiful day

4.00The tour was nicely arranged and we enjoyed it a lot. Mn sees other things than the usual tourist attractions. There is the possibility to take a closer look at some things even then. Not demanding from the point of view of cycling - should actually manage anyone who can cycle in a city. Wheels were OK. Unfortunately, the only way to understand the guide is to stop right next to it... Basically always a good idea for everyone who has been to Paris and wants to see something different.
