Paris is flat, compact and full of bike lanes – perfect for cycling. On a guided bike tour you cover in a few hours what would take a whole day on foot.
The route
Tours usually start near the Eiffel Tower and ride along the Seine past Les Invalides, the Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries and the Louvre, with stops for photos and stories at each monument.
Who is it for?
- First-timers who want an overview of the city.
- Families: the pace is easy, and some tours offer children’s bikes or seats.
- Anyone who wants to rest their legs after a day of museums.
Tips
- Wear comfortable clothes and bring water.
- Evening tours are magical in summer, when the monuments light up.
- Paris has many cycle lanes, but traffic can be busy – follow your guide.
