Itinerary
Day 1
Evening private electric-bike tour through Paris’s most romantic monuments, timed for golden hour and an intimate finish at the tip of Île de la Cité.
Meet & Bike Fitting — Bir‑Hakeim (24 Rue de la Fédération area)
Meet your guide at Bir‑Hakeim for a quick introduction, helmet fitting and electric‑bike setup. Guide covers safety, route options and secures the (provider-held) security deposit.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5 minutes early to complete a short rider briefing and choose your preferred e‑bike settings — this keeps the schedule relaxed.
- Bir‑Hakeim has step-free curb cuts at the metro exits; ask the guide for a quieter side‑street start if you want more privacy when leaving.
- Light layers are ideal in May evenings — bring a small jacket; the guide carries a waterproof bag for anything you’d like stored while riding.
Photo stop & slow ride by the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars
Ride a short distance to the Eiffel Tower and cycle through the quieter paths of Champ de Mars for close photos without being on major roads.
Tips from local experts:
- Ride onto the pedestrian paths on the Champ de Mars (not the busy Avenue) for intimate photos — your guide will position you for the best light.
- Avoid directly in front of the tower where crowds gather; the lawn near the south end offers softer light and fewer people at this hour.
- Mind the cobblestone patches near the bases — keep the throttle moderate for smooth, stable photos together.
Seine riverside glide to Hôtel des Invalides — stories & monuments
Cycle along the quays with the guide narrating the history of the river and the nearby golden dome of Les Invalides. Short stop for photos and history.
Tips from local experts:
- Take the quieter cycle paths along the Seine rather than the main road for a more romantic, low‑stress ride.
- Ask the guide to pause near the Pont Alexandre III side for a classic golden‑dome reflection shot — especially lovely in evening light.
- If you prefer to linger for an extra photo, tell the guide — the private format lets you extend this stop a few minutes without upsetting the group.
Champs‑Élysées & Arc de Triomphe — elegant avenue ride
Cross toward the Champs‑Élysées for a safe, scenic pass (guide will choose quiet side streets when possible) and a photo break at the Arc de Triomphe viewpoint.
Tips from local experts:
- Your guide will pick a quieter approach route to the Arc using service roads and pedestrian crossings — follow their lead to avoid heavy traffic.
- For a romantic photo, stand on the median at the top of the avenue (guide will advise the safest spot) to capture the sweeping boulevard behind you.
- If the evening is breezy, the small gardens around the Arc make a sheltered spot for a short rest and candid photos together.
Tuileries Garden & Louvre external ride — art and river views
Weave through the Tuileries gardens for a calm, elegant ride and pause for photos at the Louvre courtyard (exterior only). Enjoy statues, formal gardens and soft evening light.
Tips from local experts:
- Cycle on the designated paths through the Tuileries rather than the crowded central walkways — it feels more private and romantic.
- Ask your guide for a framed shot with the Louvre pyramid and the river in the background — evening light creates a warm palette.
- If you want a short bench stop, the park has several tucked‑away seats; it’s a lovely spot for a whispered story about Parisian romance.
Île de la Cité & Notre‑Dame — island calm and history
Cross to Île de la Cité to see Notre‑Dame’s façade from across the square and enjoy the historic island atmosphere before the final romantic stop.
Tips from local experts:
- Ride slowly when entering the island — cobbles and pedestrians increase in the evening; your guide will pick the smoothest approach.
- For an intimate viewpoint, pause at the eastern side of the cathedral square where reflections on the Seine are most photogenic.
- If you’d like, the guide can share a short story about the cathedral’s hidden details — a nice personal touch for couples.
Sunset wine & final romantic moment — Square du Vert‑Galant
Finish at the tip of Île de la Cité (Square du Vert‑Galant). Enjoy the guide‑provided glass of wine, a relaxed seat by the Seine and a private moment watching lights reflect on the water.
Tips from local experts:
- Square du Vert‑Galant is compact and intimate — arrive early enough to secure a bench; the guide will save a spot for you.
- The guide provides the wine glass — bring a small camera or phone tripod for a low‑light couple’s portrait as the lights come on.
- If you prefer a quieter ending, ask to skip the small shore crowds and move to the western edge of the island where the view toward the western Seine is calmer.
