Giro veloce in bici da Saint-Mandé a Vincennes

This short ride takes you from Saint-Mandé, a charming suburb right on the edge of Paris, to the historic town of Vincennes. The route is just over 4 km, so it’s perfect for a quick cycle—expect about a half-hour spin with mostly gentle terrain (just a mild 18-meter climb).

You’ll start in Saint-Mandé, known for its proximity to the Parc Zoologique de Paris and the picturesque Bois de Vincennes, and cruise mostly on well-maintained cycleways and quiet roads. The surfaces are smooth (mostly asphalt), so it’s great for any type of bike. As you approach Vincennes, you’ll spot the impressive Château de Vincennes, a medieval fortress that’s well worth a stop.

This route is ideal whether you’re commuting or just after a scenic ride—tree-lined streets and the refreshing feel of the Bois de Vincennes make it extra enjoyable. Bring a picnic for the park or take a stroll around the château at the end!
