By bicycle from Paris to Neuilly-sur-Seine

Here’s a classic Parisian cycling route: you’ll start in the heart of Paris, just steps from Notre-Dame and the Seine, and make your way northwest to the chic suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. This ride covers about 12 km and mostly rolls over smooth, paved surfaces—with the bonus that about half the route is on dedicated cycleways, keeping things mellow and safe.

You’ll pedal through some of Paris’s most iconic neighborhoods and get a peek at local life beyond the city center. On the way, expect gentle ups and downs (nothing too challenging—just over 68 meters of ascent in total) and a few charming cobblestone stretches to remind you you’re in France. Neuilly-sur-Seine, your destination, is known for its grand boulevards and leafy parks, a favorite among Parisians seeking some peace and quiet. It’s a great intro to cycling life in the City of Light!
