Quick ride by bicycle from Saint-Ouen to Boulogne-Billancourt

Here’s a great urban ride connecting Saint-Ouen to Boulogne-Billancourt, taking you through about 15 kilometers of mostly smooth, paved roads. Starting in Saint-Ouen—famous for its vibrant flea market, the largest in Paris—you'll cruise south through quieter streets and a solid stretch of cycle paths. The route meanders through several Parisian neighborhoods, with just enough elevation change (about 59 meters up!) to keep things interesting, but nothing too intense.

Around the halfway mark, you’ll skirt the edge of Paris proper, catching glimpses of iconic city life. Finish up in Boulogne-Billancourt, a leafy suburb known for its green spaces and a rich Art Deco heritage—plus, the Seine is right there for a riverside cool-down.

Expect smooth asphalt for most of your ride, with a touch of concrete and barely any gravel or cobblestone. It’s an easy-going route, perfect for anyone looking to see both the eclectic charm of Saint-Ouen and the calmer, sophisticated vibes of Boulogne-Billancourt on two wheels.
