Quick ride by bicycle from Paris to Bagnolet

Kick off your ride in the heart of Paris, where café terraces, historic boulevards, and the hum of city life set the scene. You’ll head east, cruising mostly on smooth asphalt and well-maintained cycleways—ideal for a relaxed roll out of the city. The route is just over 8 km long, so it’s a comfortable ride for most cyclists, even with some gentle ups and downs (about 98 meters of ascent).

You’ll thread your way through neighborhoods that showcase Paris’ old-meets-new vibe, passing parks, bakeries, and glimpses of classic Parisian rooftops. There’s only a small taste of cobblestone (quintessential but mercifully brief!), and most of the journey keeps you away from busy roads.

End your ride in Bagnolet, a once-industrial suburb that’s now buzzing with energy—eclectic street art, local markets, and a growing creative scene await you. Whether you’re commuting, exploring, or just out for a spin, this route is a great way to experience the city’s edge. Bring a croissant, take it easy, and enjoy the Parisian pedal!
