Sortie rapide à vélo de Saint-Maur-des-Fossés à Paris

Get ready for a pleasant urban-to-city ride from Saint-Maur-des-Fossés to Paris! Starting in the leafy, residential suburbs along the Marne River, you'll quickly swap sleepy local streets for the energy of the main city. Most of this 17 km route follows well-paved surfaces and dedicated cycleways, making it a smooth and stress-free spin—even for newer cyclists.

As you roll northwards, you’ll pass through a mix of quiet streets and buzzier neighborhoods, catching glimpses of Parisian life before you even hit the inner city. There’s only about 90 meters of gentle climbing (and a matching descent!), so it’s easy on the legs. Look out for some short stretches of paving stones—adds a little character, but just a fraction of the route.

Arriving in Paris, you’ll finish among iconic sights, vibrant café culture, and the unmistakable city buzz. Not bad, considering you started out where Parisians come to relax! This route is perfect if you want a taste of “la vie Parisienne”—and a great way to see both calm suburbs and one of the world’s most famous cities in a single ride.
