Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Maisons-Alfort à Wissous

Ready for a scenic ride across the Parisian south-east? This route starts in Maisons-Alfort, a charming suburb just outside of Paris, known for its beautiful parks and the historic Veterinary School. You’ll head southwest, sticking mostly to cycleways (about 60% of the route!) and quiet roads, so you can enjoy a peaceful escape from city buzz.

You’ll pedal for about 30 km, crossing some gentle hills (total ascent around 250 meters) and passing through a mix of residential neighborhoods and green patches. The surfaces are mostly smooth asphalt or paved, with only a tiny bit of gravel and concrete—nothing too rough for a road bike.

The ride finishes in Wissous, a quieter town surrounded by fields and woodlands, but just a stone’s throw from Orly Airport. Wissous is perfect for a post-ride breather, with its village vibe and local bakeries.

So, pump up your tires and enjoy this relaxed, suburban-to-rural adventure with lots of car-free stretches and that typical Île-de-France mix of city edges and countryside views!
