Good to know
Fat Tire Tours has been leading visitors around Paris on two wheels for around a quarter of a century, and its city bike tours remain a relaxed way to cover a lot of ground. Options include daytime and night rides past the major monuments, a Paris Secrets route, electric bike tours and combination tours that finish with a Seine cruise.
Beyond the city centre, the company runs bike and walking tours of Versailles, along with walking tours of Montmartre and the French Revolution, food tours and private group outings. Bikes can also be rented independently. Night tours are especially atmospheric once the Eiffel Tower is lit, and booking ahead is advisable in summer.
