Quick ride by bicycle from Saint-Ouen to Aubervilliers

This ride takes you from the lively district of Saint-Ouen, famous for its sprawling flea market (Marché aux Puces), up to Aubervilliers, a vibrant and rapidly changing suburb just northeast of Paris. Covering just over 13 kilometers, the route is super friendly for cyclists—you’ll be rolling mostly on smooth asphalt and concrete, with more than half the journey dedicated to cycleways and peaceful streets.

You’ll gain a bit of elevation (about 65 meters up and down), but nothing too challenging. It’s a nice way to see a different side of Greater Paris: passing local markets, hidden cafes, street art spots, and community gardens along the way. Aubervilliers, your endpoint, has deep roots in both industry and the arts—don’t miss checking out one of its cultural centers or grabbing a bite at a diverse local restaurant before you head back. All in all, a relaxed, urban ride that showcases the authentic energy of northern Paris!
