À vélo de Clichy à Aubervilliers

A relaxed spin from Clichy to Aubervilliers, mostly along the water. Roll out from central Clichy toward Saint-Ouen, then hop on the Canal Saint-Denis greenway. It’s a near‑flat 16.4 km ride with gentle ups and downs (around 80 m total), and roughly two‑thirds on separated cycleways. The links between paths use quiet streets, with just brief busier bits—watch for pedestrians on shared sections and near canal locks. Expect smooth asphalt almost everywhere, with the occasional paving stones by bridges.

You’ll cruise past colorful canal murals and may catch glimpses of the Stade de France across the water. Leave the towpath around Porte d’Aubervilliers and weave through calm streets into the center of town.

Fun to know: Clichy (Clichy‑la‑Garenne) is where L’Oréal got its start and still hosts the company’s headquarters, and it’s home to the celebrated modernist Maison du Peuple. Aubervilliers sits on the Canal Saint‑Denis and is known for its lively markets and textile district, with the historic Fort d’Aubervilliers just to the east.
