Quick ride by bicycle from Levallois-Perret to Colombes

Roll out from Levallois-Perret, a compact, lively suburb once home to Gustave Eiffel’s workshops (the iron framework of the Statue of Liberty was made here!), and glide toward the Seine. Pick up the riverside path by Île de la Jatte, then follow the quays on mostly smooth asphalt. The route mixes dedicated cycleways with quiet neighborhood streets, so it feels calm and easy-going.

It’s a gentle ride overall—some mild rises and dips but nothing steep—covering about 11.5 km. Expect mostly paved surfaces and a few short sections where you’ll follow local streets before rejoining bike lanes.

As you near Colombes, the city shifts to leafy residential vibes. Swing by the Stade Yves-du-Manoir if you can—the historic arena hosted the 1924 Olympic Games and major rugby matches. Finish up in Colombes’ center for a café stop or a stroll through its market streets.

Highlights on the way:

• Seine-side views and bridges around Île de la Jatte
• Quiet backstreets through Asnières/Bois-Colombes
• A relaxed, bike-friendly approach into Colombes’ historic sports district
