Quick ride by bicycle from Saint-Mandé to Aubervilliers

This ride takes you from the leafy, residential streets of Saint-Mandé—right on the eastern edge of Paris and next to the beautiful Bois de Vincennes—all the way up to the vibrant, multicultural hub of Aubervilliers, just north of the city.

You’ll cover just under 18 km, and the route is friendly for most riders with a gentle overall ascent and descent. Expect a smooth journey: almost the entire way is paved (including lots of asphalt and a bit of concrete), with dedicated cycle paths accounting for most of your ride. It's a mostly urban route, but you’ll find quieter residential streets here and there—a welcome break from city bustle.

Saint-Mandé is known for its village feel and proximity to one of Paris’s biggest green spaces, while Aubervilliers is buzzing with creativity, street art, markets, and a unique blend of cultures. So, whether you’re commuting or exploring new neighborhoods, this relaxed ride gives you a fun snapshot of Greater Paris!
