A morning mist lifts off the Grand Canal as your e-bike hums to life outside the shop on Avenue du Général de Gaulle. The palace facades catch the light; gravel paths and clipped lime trees stretch ahead, and the tour guide peels away crowded angles to lead you deeper into 2,000 acres of royal ground.
