Quick ride by bicycle from Paris to Montrouge

Looking for a pleasant bike ride south of Paris? This route takes you from the heart of Paris to the charming suburb of Montrouge, covering just under 7 kilometers. Starting near the historic center, you’ll pedal through some classic Parisian neighborhoods before crossing the périphérique into Montrouge. The ride mostly follows well-paved cycleways (around 60%), so you can relax and enjoy the scenery without too much worry about traffic. There’s a gentle climb (total ascent is about 55 meters) but nothing too strenuous.

Paris is brimming with iconic sights—think classic Haussmann architecture, lively cafés, and plenty of city buzz. Montrouge, at the southern edge of the city, has a more laid-back vibe, with friendly local markets and a growing arts scene.

This route is great for everyday cyclists and those looking to escape central Paris for a bit. Plus, with most of the path on asphalt and paved cycle lanes, you’ll be rolling smoothly most of the way. Enjoy the ride!
