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

This ride takes you from the suburban calm of Les Pavillons-sous-Bois, northeast of Paris, down to the historic charm of Vincennes — home to the elegant Château de Vincennes and its lush woodlands.

You’ll cover just over 18 kilometers, mostly on smooth cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s a relaxed route that’s beginner-friendly. Expect gentle climbs (nothing too dramatic!) as you zigzag south through tree-lined avenues, passing local parks and occasionally catching glimpses of the Canal de l’Ourcq.

As you approach Vincennes, the scenery shifts to grand old buildings and inviting cafés — a perfect spot to refuel. With most of the way paved or asphalted, and only short stretches on paving stones or concrete, it’s smooth sailing for almost the entire journey.

Tip: Save some time to wander around the Parc Floral or snap a photo at the majestic château at the finish!
