By bicycle from Bagnolet to Saint-Mandé

This relaxed 4.5 km ride starts in Bagnolet, an energetic suburb just east of Paris known for its street art, multicultural vibe, and the iconic Tour Gallieni. You’ll pedal mostly on smooth cycleways, gliding through friendly neighborhoods with just a couple of gentle uphills—nothing too challenging, as the total elevation gain is only about 20 meters.

Along the way, you’ll transition from Bagnolet’s urban edges into the calmer streets of Saint-Mandé. Expect mostly paved and asphalt surfaces under your wheels, so it’s a comfortable cruise even for city bikes. Saint-Mandé, your endpoint, is a charming, green suburb frequently called “the garden of eastern Paris” thanks to its proximity to the lovely Bois de Vincennes.

You’ll barely touch any busy roads—most of the ride is on designated cycling paths or quiet streets. Soak up the local atmosphere, maybe grab a pastry when you arrive, and enjoy the leafy vibe of Saint-Mandé before heading back or exploring the nearby parks!
