Are you planning a trip to Paris and dreaming of exploring the castles that surround it? If so, why not visit the castles near Paris by bike? In fact, in less than an hour by train, you can leave the city behind and head to Fontainebleau, Vaux-le-Vicomte, Rambouillet and Versailles, all linked by royal forests and peaceful rivers. Over five days, you\u2019ll cycle from ch\u00e2teau to ch\u00e2teau at your own pace. Meanwhile, a van will transport your luggage from one charming hotel to the next. As a result, you\u2019ll travel light, free and stress-free. <\/p>

In this guide, you\u2019ll first discover why this castle cycle tour is the perfect complement to a stay in Paris. Next, we\u2019ll follow the route castle by castle, describe where you\u2019ll be staying each night and explain how your luggage will be transported. Finally, you\u2019ll find our practical tips to help you organise your trip with confidence. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1. Why visit the ch\u00e2teaux near Paris by bike?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Most visitors spend a few days in Paris before heading off to the next big city. Yet the real treasures of the \u00cele-de-France region lie just beyond the ring road. By bike, you can explore them at a leisurely pace, in the fresh air and amidst open countryside. So here are three good reasons to extend your stay by a few days. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Just 40 minutes from the city<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

First of all, there\u2019s no need for a car or a plane. Direct trains run from Paris Gare de Lyon to Fontainebleau-Avon station in around 40 minutes. In other words, you can finish your visit to Paris in the morning and set off on your cycle ride that very afternoon. Similarly, at the end of your trip, Versailles is just a short train journey from central Paris. <\/p>

What\u2019s more, this cycle tour of the ch\u00e2teaux near Paris reveals a side of France that few travellers get to see. Instead of bustling boulevards, you\u2019ll cycle along the Seine, through vast oak woodlands and across golden plains. Along the way, you\u2019ll also pass medieval towns, artists\u2019 villages and peaceful farms. That\u2019s why every day feels like a journey back in time. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

The most beautiful ch\u00e2teaux near Paris, at your own pace<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Finally, the itinerary takes in some of France\u2019s most beautiful royal estates. Indeed, both Fontainebleau and Versailles <\/a>are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In between them, Vaux-le-Vicomte, Blandy-les-Tours and Rambouillet complete the picture. Best of all, you can visit them at your own pace, without tourist coaches or a tightly scheduled itinerary. <\/p>

Before you set off, however, do remember to check the opening hours on the official Fontainebleau Castle website<\/a>, as it is closed on Tuesdays.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

2 . The route: cycling from the ch\u00e2teaux of Fontainebleau to Versailles<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our route mainly follows small country roads, forest tracks and cycle paths. What\u2019s more, each stage takes you to a new castle and opens a new chapter in the history of France. Furthermore, the landscapes are constantly changing, from river valleys to deep forests and across vast plains. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Your journey begins gently in Fontainebleau or Melun, on the banks of the Seine. On the very first morning, a 56-kilometre loop takes you through peaceful plains and villages. Suddenly, the Ch\u00e2teau de Vaux-le-Vicomte <\/a>looms on the horizon. Incidentally, its architects and gardener \u2013 Le Vau, Le Brun and Le N\u00f4tre \u2013 would later go on to create Versailles for Louis XIV. A few kilometres further on, the medieval fortress of Blandy-les-Tours<\/a> offers a striking contrast. You then return along the Seine, passing through Samois-sur-Seine, before reaching Fontainebleau. <\/p>

The next day, the stage begins amongst the tall oaks and pines of the Fontainebleau Forest. Covering 25,000 hectares, it is indeed one of the largest forests near Paris. Soon, you\u2019ll reach Barbizon, the artists\u2019 village where 19th-century painters would set up their easels amidst the natural surroundings. The landscape then opens out onto fields and rolling hills. In Dannemois, for example, you\u2019ll pass a picturesque mill that once belonged to the singer Claude Fran\u00e7ois. Finally, you\u2019ll arrive in \u00c9tampes, a royal town with a remarkable medieval heritage. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

From Rambouillet to Versailles via the Chevreuse Valley<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Starting from \u00c9tampes, you follow a quiet cycle path alongside a peaceful river, through meadows and woodland. Shortly afterwards, you come to Dourdan, a fortified town with a 13th-century castle and an old market square. Next, the Rambouillet Forest takes over, with its 20,000 hectares of shaded paths and tranquillity. As the day draws to a close, the elegant Ch\u00e2teau de Rambouillet<\/a> finally comes into view, set in the heart of its vast grounds. There, the Chaumi\u00e8re aux Coquillages, built for the Princess of Lamballe, remains a true gem of 18th-century interior design, as does the Laiterie de la Reine, built for Marie-Antoinette. <\/p>

The final stage of this cycle tour of the ch\u00e2teaux near Paris then takes you through the Chevreuse Valley. Throughout the route, winding rivers, wooded hillsides and stone villages create a peaceful setting. Gradually, however, the countryside gives way to grandeur. Eventually, the gilded gates of the Palace of Versailles<\/a> come into view. Cycling into the palace grounds is, in fact, an unforgettable experience. After this regal finale, you can make the most of your final evening to explore the town of Versailles. <\/p>

If you\u2019re keen on royal estates, our guide to exploring the ch\u00e2teaux of the Loire Valley by bike will also inspire you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

3 . Where to stay: charming places to spend the night along the route<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

After a day in the saddle, a good night\u2019s rest is just as important as the ride itself. That\u2019s why we carefully select each place to stay, based on its charm, comfort and location. In practical terms, you\u2019ll be staying in 3-star hotels and cosy guesthouses that cater to the needs of cyclists. Here\u2019s what you can expect at each stage. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You\u2019ll spend your first two nights in Fontainebleau in an elegant guesthouse or one of the charming hotels, just a stone\u2019s throw from the ch\u00e2teau.<\/p>

In \u00c9tampes, you\u2019ll be staying in the heart of a historic town designated a \u2018Ville d\u2019art et d\u2019histoire\u2019 (Town of Art and History). Your hotel is usually situated near the medieval alleyways and the Notre-Dame Collegiate Church. So, after a refreshing shower, you can walk to the restaurant and admire the old fa\u00e7ades in the evening light. <\/p>

In Rambouillet, the surroundings become greener. Your accommodation is usually situated near the ch\u00e2teau grounds or the town centre. So you can take a leisurely stroll along the park\u2019s canals after your day\u2019s journey. What\u2019s more, the tranquillity of the forest guarantees a truly restful night\u2019s sleep. <\/p>

And what about the nights that follow? Let us surprise you: we\u2019ve already found the best places to stay, and we\u2019ll be happy to tailor them to your preferences. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Le Canal des 2 Mers<\/a> is thus a route that combines tranquility, beauty, and diversity: shaded paths, historic locks, medieval villages, and gourmet stops make each stage a unique experience. Heritage enthusiasts and landscape lovers alike will find on this route a perfect balance between physical effort, contemplation, and cultural discovery. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How does the baggage transfer work? <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Carrying heavy luggage on a bike can quickly spoil the enjoyment of a ride. On this cycling tour near Paris, however, you never have to worry about it. Every morning, a van collects your suitcase and drops it off at your next hotel. In other words, you only carry the essentials with you during the day. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

When is the best time to go?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The tour runs from April to October, and every season has its own charm. In spring, the forests turn a vibrant green and the castle gardens come into bloom. In summer, the shade of the tall oak trees protects you from the heat. Finally, autumn dresses the woodland in golden hues, making for a more peaceful visit. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
