By bicycle from Bagnolet to Le Pré-Saint-Gervais

This mostly paved 5.4 km ride starts in Bagnolet, a lively suburb on the eastern edge of Paris known for its eclectic street art and urban gardens. You'll find plenty of smooth cycleways leading you northward, with just a dash of gentle climbing (you'll feel it in your legs, but nothing too dramatic).

The route winds through quiet streets, parks, and follows some designated cycleways—making for a relaxed journey. About 12% of the surface is not clearly specified, so don’t be surprised by the occasional patch of mystery pavement or a sprinkle of concrete and paving stones.

Before you know it, you’ll roll into Le Pré-Saint-Gervais, a charming, compact commune recognized for its community vibe and leafy squares. With a mix of ascents and descents, plus barely any busy roads, this is a great ride whether you’re aiming to explore local neighborhoods or seeking a low-key urban cycling escape.
