By bicycle from Saint-Ouen to Paris

Hop on your bike in Saint-Ouen, a vibrant suburb just north of Paris known for its famous flea market (Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen), and enjoy an easy ride into the heart of the City of Light! This roughly 10 km route is mostly smooth sailing—about 95% paved and largely on designated cycleways (65%), so you’ll avoid most busy roads.

You’ll wind past lively neighborhoods, cruising over a gentle ascent and descent (just over 50 meters each), so it’s friendly for all riders. Expect to share a handful of quiet roads and perhaps a short section of cobblestones—just enough to give you that classic Parisian feel.

Your destination is the center of Paris, buzzing with iconic sights, charming cafés, and the Seine’s elegant bridges. It’s a perfect way to start your day with a little adventure—whether you’re heading in for work, sightseeing, or chasing the best croissant. Just keep your eyes open for a few mixed surfaces and enjoy the ride!
