In bici da Parigi a Fontenay-sous-Bois

Looking for a scenic and relaxed ride out of Paris? This 15.4 km cycling route takes you from the heart of the City of Light eastwards to the leafy suburb of Fontenay-sous-Bois.

Though you’ll get in a bit of a workout with about 146 meters of ascent, the route isn’t too challenging and never gets steep. Most of the path is smooth asphalt or pavement, with only a tiny stretch on paving stones. Keep an eye out for the tranquil Bois de Vincennes along the way—a perfect spot to catch your breath.
