The green side of Versailles

A mountain bike or gravel bike tour to discover Versailles… from a natural perspective.

The route starts at the Castle Park.

After admiring the iconic views of the Grand Canal, we will explore the sources of the Ru du Gally, which we will then follow, in the castle park and beyond.

We will cross the Pontaly Farm, and then continue in the Versailles plain, an agricultural heritage and refuge of biodiversity, as far as Rennemoulin.

The return journey will then take place through the Versailles forest. We will walk alongside the bucolic ponds of La Minière (Ponds of Moulin à Renard, Val d'Or and Geneste), an important natural site due to the variety of its aquatic birdlife and its invasive turtles, and then head back up to Satory to reach Versailles.

We plan to stop at some notable points of interest to drink and eat.
