Quick ride by bicycle from Issy-les-Moulineaux to Paris

Looking for a pleasant ride from the southwestern suburbs into the heart of Paris? Kick off your journey in Issy-les-Moulineaux, a bustling town known for its blend of modern business hubs and charming local cafés along the Seine. This route is just over 9 kilometers—an easygoing cruise for most cyclists, with gentle ups and downs and a smooth, mostly paved surface (almost all asphalt, so your tires will thank you).

You'll roll along cycleways for the majority of the trip, keeping things safe and stress-free as you work your way toward the City of Light. Expect to spend most of the ride away from heavy traffic, using quiet roads and occasional paths that wind through parks and scenic riverbanks. As you leave Issy’s contemporary cityscape behind, you’ll soon find yourself gliding into central Paris, finishing near the lively Latin Quarter and all its historic splendor—think Notre-Dame, riverside bookstalls, and bustling boulevards.

It’s a route that’s beginner-friendly but never boring, perfect for anyone wanting to experience both local Parisian life and iconic sights by bike. Don’t forget your camera!
