Paseo rápido en bici de Les Lilas a Charenton-le-Pont

Set off from Les Lilas, a lively suburb at the northeast edge of Paris known for its creative vibe and street art, and cruise south to reach Charenton-le-Pont, a peaceful riverside commune just outside the city center. The ride is around 8.5 km—perfect for an easygoing spin or commute.

You’ll mostly roll on smooth, paved cycleways (nearly 70% of the route!), so it’s ideal for all types of bikes. The terrain is mostly flat, with just a gentle uphill at the beginning and a comfortable descent as you head toward the Seine. You’ll pass through quiet neighborhoods away from the bustling city traffic, making it a relaxed trip with minimal car interruptions.

Charenton-le-Pont sits right at the confluence of the Seine and Marne rivers, and it’s loaded with green spaces—a lovely spot to chill post-ride. All in all, this route is a fun and easy way to connect two charming Parisian suburbs while avoiding busy roads.
