Quick ride by bicycle from Paris to Saint-Ouen

Start your ride in the heart of Paris, with its iconic boulevards and vibrant city vibes, and head north towards the lively suburb of Saint-Ouen. This 9 km spin zips you mostly along smooth asphalt and dedicated cycleways, making it a relaxed route even for less seasoned cyclists. Expect just a gentle climb here and there, with less than 50 meters of ascent overall.

You'll roll past classic Parisian neighborhoods, catch glimpses of the Sacré-Cœur if you peek to the east, and then slip into Saint-Ouen—famous for its gigantic flea market, the Marché aux Puces, and a growing arts scene. With minimal busy traffic and plenty of cycling infrastructure, this route is perfect for anyone wanting to explore Paris beyond its tourist core. Grab a coffee at one of Saint-Ouen’s hip cafés before heading back or diving into the colorful market hunt!
