One of the best ways to see Paris is by bike and Fat Tire Bike Tours is the best bike tour in the city. Their tours are designed with English speaking tourists in mind, plus, it’s American owned and operated since 1999. Fat Tire Bike Tours not only specializes in bike tours, in 2003, they began offering Segway Tours and in 2005, they began the Classic Walks of Paris tours. Additionally, they offer bicycle rentals, private tours and high-speed Internet access.
If You’re staying at a Paris hotel , and wondering why on earth should you do a bike tour, consider this; the Monet’s Garden Bike Tour, which is an excellent bike excursion outside of Paris. You’ll get to experience Claude Monet’s exquisite gardens in Normandy, visit his unique home, ride through the quaint villages of Vernon and Geverny, and pedal along the Seine. This tour is geared to remove you from the hustle and bustle of Paris, which you’ll find a welcome change and a most enjoyable out-of-town trip. The tour first, will take you by rail through the breathtaking sunflower and wheat fields of Normandy, all the way to the village of Vernon, where you’ll collect your bikes, ride to the market for picnic supplies for lunch along the river in a picture perfect park. After lunch, you’ll pedal down Fat Tire’s private bike path to Monet’s gardens and spend the afternoon amongst the most splendid landscape in Normandy. The tour lasts 7 hours and you’ll pedal for 6.6 miles.
If Monet is not your thing, Fat Tire Tours also offers a Night Bike Tour. This is the best way to see the ‘City of Lights’ at its best. You’ll cruise through town right as the city lights up and get to see Paris not only from your bike, but from a boat cruise, where the wine is included! This tour isn’t as comprehensive as Fat Tires’ Day Bike Tour, but is a great complement and a unique way to spend an evening in Paris. The tour lasts 4 hours. Keep in mind that there is no dinner served, so either eat before hand, or as most Parisians do, eat later in the evening.
