By bicycle from Vanves to Levallois-Perret

This ride takes you from Vanves, a charming suburb just south of Paris known for its peaceful streets and lovely weekly market, up to the bustling Levallois-Perret, right on the edge of the city. The route is a little under 13.5 km, mostly paved with a good mix of asphalt and some smooth concrete sections, making for a comfortable spin.

You’ll start in Vanves, passing quiet neighborhoods and perhaps catching a glimpse of locals relaxing in Parc Pic—perfect for a warmup. The route uses lots of designated cycleways (over half your ride!) and sticks mostly to quiet roads, so it’s pretty relaxing despite moving toward the city center.

There’s a gentle ascent and just a bit more descent as you approach Levallois-Perret, a dynamic area with cool cafés and easy access to the Seine. Total elevation change is modest, so it’s beginner-friendly but interesting enough for experienced riders. Whether you’re commuting or taking a scenic city tour, this route lets you experience a slice of Parisian lifestyle—bike-friendly, sociable, and always close to a good bakery.
