Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Vincennes do Les Pavillons-sous-Bois

This ride takes you from the historic Bois de Vincennes—Paris’s “green lung” on the city’s eastern edge—up to the lively suburb of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois. It’s a little under 20 km, mostly on smooth, paved surfaces (no need for a gravel bike!). You’ll roll along plenty of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, making it friendly even if you’re not a hardcore roadie. The route winds north-northeast, flirting with a few gentle hills but nothing too lung-busting—expect a nice balance of ascent and descent.

Along the way, you’ll skirt parks, cross sleepy neighborhoods, and pick up a bit of local life. Vincennes itself is famous for its grand château and lush woodlands, perfect for a pre-ride espresso. Your destination, Les Pavillons-sous-Bois, is a classic outer Paris suburb, relaxed and residential, with its own share of boulangeries (perfect for a post-ride croissant).

Most of the journey is traffic-calmed—just keep an eye out where the surface changes, though it’s predominantly smooth asphalt. All in all, a relaxed spin suitable for most bikes and most legs—enjoy the ride!
