By bicycle from Bagnolet to Paris

Hop on your bike in Bagnolet, a lively suburb just east of Paris, known for its street art and diverse vibe. This ride takes you about 8 km into the heart of Paris, mostly on smooth, paved cycleways—meaning it’s ideal for a relaxed city cruise or a daily commute. The route features a gentle ascent at the start, then more downhill as you approach the city center, so you’ll get some workout but enjoy coasting into town.

Almost the entire journey follows dedicated bike paths or quiet roads, keeping traffic stress to a minimum. You’ll pass through neighborhoods that mix residential charm with classic Parisian bustle, and before you know it, you’re right in central Paris—perfect for grabbing a coffee at a sidewalk café or continuing your urban exploration.

Fun fact: Bagnolet’s city gate historically marked the Paris boundary, and entering the city by bike today still feels like a little adventure! Enjoy the ride and soak up those city vibes.
