The 18th and 19th centuries – Architecture of Paris

01:16

21.2km

120m

Cycling

This route begins in the heart of Paris, between ancient glass roofs and covered passageways. Here, it's best to put your feet down to enjoy the atmosphere and observe the details. Very quickly, the bustle of the city center gives way to quieter neighborhoods, where the architecture changes without warning.

To the east, you explore a more residential Paris. You climb gently to the Mouzaïa, and everything slows down: cobblestones, small gardens, silence. Then comes the Saint-Denis Canal, a thread that leads to Saint-Ouen to discover the workshops of the suburbs, always passing little-known historic buildings.

No technical difficulty, but a few hills to take at your own pace. The route remains smooth, accessible to any urban bike. A loop for those who like to explore the city in a different way.
