By bicycle from Saint-Mandé to Paris

This ride starts in Saint-Mandé, a peaceful suburb east of Paris, known for its proximity to the gorgeous Bois de Vincennes park. You’ll set out on a route that’s almost entirely paved and very bike-friendly, cruising mostly along dedicated cycleways (about 70% of your journey). The roads here are smooth and easy, with gentle ups and downs—just enough ascent and descent to keep things interesting, but nothing too taxing.

Within just over 7 kilometers, you’ll pedal your way right into the heart of Paris. As you get closer to the city, soak in the evolving atmosphere as quiet suburban streets turn into the distinctly Parisian cityscape, with its iconic monuments not far away.

This is a great trip for newer cyclists or anyone wanting a hassle-free entry into Paris. By the time you arrive, you’ll be ready to explore the City of Lights, perhaps by bike or on foot. Enjoy the ride!
