Hidden Paris Bike Tour

The Hidden Paris Bike Tour stands out from our other bike tours as it dives deeper into what makes Paris so unique aside from its monuments and museums. This tour takes place entirely on back streets so you’ll see a more authentic and charming side of Paris, one that most tourists only dream about finding.



You'll pop into a 400 year old building and explore the book lined walls of the Shakespeare and Co. bookshop. On your Blue Bike™ you'll cycle past the oldest tree in Paris and into the alleys of the Latin Quarter you'll learn about the Street Art movement in Paris. That way you'll recognize some of Paris' most celebrated street art such as the Space Invaders and the many faces of Gregos which pop out from our city's walls.

Wandering into a covered passageway you'll look through a window and see pastry chefs creating delicacies. Then you'll realize you're standing in front of the oldest café in the world, a place where a revolution was planned and where Benjamin Franklin penned some of the Constitution of the United States.

Cycling through the market street of Rue de Buci you'll smell the fresh baked goods and see thousands of fresh fruits and flowers all around you. You might notice a shop that has been making tiny lead soldiers since the 1700's and wonder how they can still be there after 250 years. That's when you'll remember you're in Paris and this place is magic.

You'll have a chance to learn about and explore inside the fascinating church that Dan Brown used in his Da Vinci Code. Leaving the church behind you'll go up an alley and read a backwards poem on the wall about a drunken boat, then cycle alongside the beautiful Luxembourg Garden. You'll pause at the Pantheon, the final resting place of the most beloved men and women of France including Victor Hugo.

Taking a break on rue Mouffetard, you'll admire the little creperies, awesome French bakeries, and local ambiance found off the beaten tourist track. You'll be able to choose whatever pleases you the most for your lunch and have 30 minutes to enjoy it.

Once finished with the break the adventure continues as the guide leads you to the center of the 2,000 year old Roman Arena, and then across the Seine into the historically Jewish neighborhood of Le Marais.

You'll admire the lovely pedestrian street of Rue des Rosiers with all of its local boutiques and kosher restaurants then head into the most beautiful square in Paris: Place des Vosges, where the red brick and green trees display a different side of Paris.
