Cycling day trip from Wissous to Maisons-Alfort

Get ready for a scenic suburban spin from Wissous to Maisons-Alfort! Starting out in Wissous—known for its village feel on the southern fringes of Paris—you'll pedal northeast for just under 29 km. The route is mostly paved, with more than half of it on dedicated cycleways, and a good mix of quiet roads and gentle paths.

You’ll climb and dip a bit (about 190 meters up and 235 meters down), but the gradients aren’t too fierce, making it a satisfying ride without too much sweat. Expect to cruise through a patchwork of residential suburbs, leafy parks, and perhaps even catch glimpses of the many streams and green spaces dotting this part of Île-de-France.

Your destination, Maisons-Alfort, sits by the Marne River and is famous for its picturesque riverbanks and historic veterinary school (one of the oldest in the world!). Grab a well-earned coffee at a café by the water when you finish. It’s a great urban adventure with plenty of variety—perfect for anyone keen on exploring Greater Paris by bike!
