By bicycle from Aubervilliers to Clichy

A relaxed urban spin from canal-side Aubervilliers to riverside Clichy, about 10 km and mostly flat. Roll out near the Canal Saint-Denis, then weave west through Saint-Ouen’s quieter streets before picking up stretches of riverside cycleway along the Seine toward Clichy. Expect mostly paved surfaces with a good mix of quiet roads and protected bike lanes; there are a couple of short, busier crossings near major junctions, so keep an eye out.

Aubervilliers sits just northeast of Paris and hugs the Canal Saint-Denis—once an industrial artery, now a handy green corridor for bikes. Clichy (Clichy-la-Garenne) borders the 17th arrondissement and has long been home to L’Oréal’s historic headquarters; it’s also known for the modernist Maison du Peuple. Finish near the town hall or the quays for an easy post-ride coffee.

Elevation is gentle with only small ups and downs, so it’s a friendly route for everyday riders. Enjoy the mix of water views and lived-in neighborhoods as you cross from the northeast suburbs to the northwest edge of Paris.
