Quick ride by bicycle from Boulogne-Billancourt to Saint-Ouen

Here’s a fun ride that takes you from Boulogne-Billancourt, just southwest of Paris, all the way up to Saint-Ouen on the city’s northern edge! You’ll cruise about 19 km through some lively neighborhoods, mostly sticking to dedicated cycle paths (great news for a comfortable, low-stress ride). The path is almost entirely paved and asphalt, so expect a nice, smooth journey.

Boulogne-Billancourt is famous for its leafy streets and as the historic headquarters of car-maker Renault, while Saint-Ouen is known for its vibrant flea markets and street art scene—perfect if you want some sightseeing at the finish line. The route rolls gently through the slightly hilly heart of the city, with just over 120m of ascent and descent, but nothing too tough.

You’ll pass through several quieter roads and green pockets, and only touch a few busier spots. If you fancy exploring both the classy and bohemian sides of Paris in under 20 km, this ride’s a winner!
