If you are looking for a fun family activity in Paris, I highly recommend a Paris Bike Tour.

We took the Fat Tire Tours Paris when we went to Paris and the whole family loved it.  We actually went on our Paris bike tour the day we arrived from the United States so to say we were all a bit jet-lagged is an understatement.  My older daughter was begging for a nap before we left for the tour. Look at that face though, a bike tour was just what we needed.

I knew getting us all adjusted to the time change would be difficult so I booked a Fat Bike Tours Paris our first afternoon to keep us moving and it was a great decision.   Not only was the fresh air and activity great for keeping us awake it also gave us a great primer for the city both in history and seeing many monuments.  My daughters actually quoted our tour guide on several occasions throughout the rest of our week in Paris when we visited sites.

This Paris by bike tour was a perfect orientation to the city for our family. The biking is easy and flat during this Paris Bike Tour and my ten-year-old daughter had no trouble keeping up with the group. They had a smaller kid size bike that was perfect for her.

Fat Tire Tours Paris can provide bikes to match all levels of skill. They even have toddler seats, trailers or tandem attachments. There is no age minimum or maximum these bike tours Paris. It is suitable for everyone as long as you can ride a bike!

 

 

The Paris bike tour is a mix of biking and then stops where the guide provides educational information and fun stories. The bike seats are big and comfy and you bike for the most 20 minutes at a time before you stop.   You also have fantastic photo opportunities throughout the Paris Fat Tour Bike Tour. Cycling along the banks of the Seine River is an amazing experience that none of us will soon forget.

 

My girls’ number one thing they wanted to see in Paris was, of course, the Eiffel Tour and we got views of it from many different angles and our tour guide even took a family photo for us.

 

Sites On Paris Bike Tour

On the tour, you will see the following sites

• Eiffel Tower
• Alexander III Bridge
• Tuileries Gardens
• Louvre Museum
• Les Invalides
• Napoléon’s Tomb
• Place de la Concorde

The tours depart at 10:30 am or 2:30 pm. We had enough time to get from the airport to our apartment, have some quick lunch and then get to the tour in the 15th arrondissement for our 2:30 pm tour. The tours are approximately 3 hours long and seemed the perfect length to keep everyone’s interest.

Our tour guide helped recommend a spot for a quick dinner after the tour and after that, we headed back to our holiday apartment to get some sleep. This really helped us get adjusted to the new time zone.
