Quick ride by bicycle from Paris to Alfortville

This ride takes you from the heart of Paris all the way down to Alfortville, just over 10 km south of the city center. Starting in Paris, you’ll roll past iconic neighborhoods and probably catch glimpses of the Seine as you make your way through the southeastern parts of the city. The route is super friendly to cyclists, with almost half of it on dedicated cycleways and the vast majority on smooth asphalt—perfect for a steady, relaxed ride.

Along the way, you’ll dodge most of the heavy traffic and cruise through quiet residential streets and living areas, which is always nice for soaking in some urban scenery without the chaos. There’s a gentle bit of up and down, but nothing too challenging—the route only climbs a smidge over 55 meters.

Your destination, Alfortville, sits between the Seine and the Marne rivers. It’s known for its multicultural vibe and peaceful parks, a nice contrast to the buzz of Paris proper. Great for a leisurely outing, whether you’re commuting or out for some weekend exploration.
