Private Paris Night Bike Tour
We’ll dive into the heart of St. Germain, cutting through some adorable side streets that lead right up to the awe inspiring Notre Dame Cathedral. Next, we’ll park the bikes on the tranquil Ile St. Louis bridge as we gaze upon the flying buttresses of Notre Dame. We’ll of course stop on Ile St. Louis for Paris’s most famous ice cream & sorbet, Berthillon, for a little ice cream break. Heading towards the sunset as it glows orange behind the buildings along the Seine River, we’ll cross over the old wooden pedestrian bridge, Pont des Arts, for more jaw-dropping views (including the Eiffel Tower from afar).
One of the best parts of the ride is up next as we glide into the original courtyard of the Louvre palace. You’ll notice that the noise level goes from the loud buzz of people and traffic to near silence within the serene centuries-old enclosed courtyard. We’ll ride down through the relatively quiet palace grounds to the glass pyramids for a photo opt. Depending on the time of year, it can be just transitioning towards sunset or completely dark with the pyramids lit up and glowing, but it’s always breathtaking.
Next, we’ll ride over the Seine and back towards our office, stopping just in front of the Eiffel Tower to appreciate its golden evening glow, and perhaps catch it just in time as it sparkles!
Riding a bike through Paris at night can be intimidating on your own, but we have safety in numbers with your expert guide leading the way. Our Night Bike Tour is a perfect way to see Paris at its absolute best and to enjoy many vantage points of beauty across the city as its monuments and bridges take on a whole new light. Being guided by bike, it’s effortless and fun. This is an evening around the City of Light you won’t soon forget.

Prepare for the activity
Meeting Point
Your tour meets directly at our office, located at 24 rue Edgar Faure, 75015. The closest metro station is Dupleix (line 6). The station La Motte Picquet Grenelle (lines 6, 8 & 10) is also quite close and provides more connection possibilities.
Our office is easy to spot from the street – you will see a ‘Bike Tours’ sign in our window. If you are following an online map, be aware that there is also an apartment building with the same street address as our office. If you end up there, simply walk up and around the corner against the direction of traffic (it’s a one-way street) and you’ll see our office in about 30 seconds.
Important Information
- Make no mistake – this tour is 100% different from our Highlights of Paris Bike Tour. The Night Bike Tour contains more riding and less information than the Day Bike Tour, and allows us to enjoy the ‘City of Light’ as it comes to life. For a more in-depth overview of the city, try our Highlights Bike Tour. Most of our customers enjoy both bike tours and we hope you will, too.
