Overview

From beginners to experienced riders, we invite you to discover this haven of peace like French Royalty used to: On horseback. The Gardens & Palace of Versailles on Horseback is an immersive journey that transports you to the time of Kings and delights your taste buds to experience the Royal Art de Vivre à la française for a day. Ride through the polished 2000-acre Gardens of Versailles, savor French cuisine classics while overlooking the Cour Royale, and discover with a historian guide one of the greatest achievements of French 17th-century architecture: The Palace of Versailles. Important Note : The Château of Versailles has decided to shorten the riding circuit, starting the 15th of May up to the 25th of August - due to the preparation for the Paris Olympics 2024. The circuit is therefore shorter (1h30) and we do not have access to the Grand Canal - which has a view over the Château. You will still be able to enjoy some nice canters in the beautiful alleys of the gardens.

Wonderful and worth it!

Published on Nov, 2024

Every part of this experience was fabulous. Man on was the main guide and coordinator, and she was great! Lunch at the Michelin-starred restaurant with views of the Gardens was relaxing and delicious. The tour of the castle was very informative and not too long. Francesca was our guide, and she was great at telling the stories about the kings and queens who lived there. Horseback riding in the Gardens was breathtaking. This was worth every Euro!

Highly Recommended Phenomenal VIP Luxury Tour Experience

Published on May, 2024

Our experience with Nomad Riders was exceptional. From the first email communication to the return at our hotel lobby in Paris at the end of our tour, we were met with nothing but stellar professionalism and top tier hospitality services. I felt that from the start of the day, I had nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the experience unfolding for us. (As the logistics coordinator for the family- this in itself is worth it's weight in gold!) Everything was thought of and taken care of. We were met in the lobby of our hotel in Paris right on time, and had a smooth and comfortable ride to Versailles. We went directly to a spot amongst the gardens that had a trailer and horses tacked up and ready to go. Within a few minutes of arriving, we were already on horseback. Our guide was so lovely as we spent 2 hours in what felt like traveling back in time and being in a movie and just having the most surreal experience all at the same time. We cantered through fairways and walked through knee high flowers, and explored a huge area that turned out to be just a tiny fraction of the grounds. Immediately upon on return to the trailer area, our driver was waiting to whisk us off to an unforgettable modern 18th century brunch at the Michelin- starred Arielles Château de Versailles by Chef Alain Ducasse. Our dietary preferences of gluten-free and plant-based were not a problem in the slightest. We missed out on "the cheese course", but every other course was served with delightful options that were not only delicious, but served so incredibly beautifully and with such care- the experience around the food itself was just as magnificent. As soon as we were finished with our meal, our car as waiting at the front to bring us to the front entrance of the château, where someone was already standing the line with our tickets for the tour. There was no waiting or wondering where to go, and amongst the long lines and swaths of people there, this was one of those little touches that was really appreciated. Obviously, the Château and surrounding area is beyond describable words- and that part of the experience was wonderful. (So much so, that my next trip to the Paris area will include a few days in Versailles.) As soon as our tour of the château ended, our car was ready for us front and center- again , no walking, no lines, door to door service throughout. I truly felt so taken care of throughout this experience and all it's activities. I didn't have to think about anything- I just got to enjoy. I would HIGHLY recommend Nomad Riders to anyone and everyone that values incredible equestrian experiences. I've been inspired to take on more adventures with Rita and her fantastic team. Thank you Rita and Co. at Nomad Riders for one of the most unforgettable days I've ever had.
