Paseo rápido en bici de Le Pré-Saint-Gervais a Saint-Mandé

This urban cycling route takes you from Le Pré-Saint-Gervais, a charming, artsy suburb on the northeastern edge of Paris, down to leafy Saint-Mandé, right on the fringe of the Bois de Vincennes. The ride covers a little over 7 km, mostly on smooth, paved surfaces and plenty of dedicated cycleways—so it’s both easy and pleasant if you want to avoid traffic.

You’ll get a gentle mix of ups and downs (with more descent than climb overall), passing through bustling neighborhoods like Bagnolet and Montreuil. The route is ideal for spotting cool street art, grabbing a croissant at a local boulangerie, or people-watching at a sidewalk café.

Saint-Mandé itself is quieter and greener, with lovely parks and easy access to the sprawling Vincennes forest—perfect if you want to extend your ride. This is a great route for anyone wanting a taste of local Parisian suburb life without straying too far from the city center.
