Paris by bike; experience the capital like a real Parisian

A perfect city for cycling

There are various reasons why Paris is so perfectly bicycle-friendly. The city is on a human scale and can be easily crossed from north to south in an hour or so. There are some hilly areas such as Montmartre, Montparnasse or Ménilmontant, if you want the challenge of a climb, but the rest of the city is relatively flat. Finally, Paris is a beautiful city full of little paradisiacal corners where it’s fun to lose yourself, and a bike is perfect for such adventures. Get to know the city by bike. You’ll be glad you did !
