Paris Notre-Dame – Choisy-le-Roi via the Mandela bridge

Paris Notre-Dame – Choisy-le-Roi via the Mandela bridge

Attention

In the heart of Paris, the two îles de la Cité and Saint-Louis provide a magnificent starting point for a route along the Seine, which we follow upstream beyond its confluence with the Marne. From the historic centre, you can reach the new districts of Paris, Bercy and the François Mitterrand Library : the quays there have become very attractive leisure spots at the foot of the Simone de Beauvoir footbridge.

To view another route along the Left Bank, which avoids the Henri IV tunnel (closed from 10.30 pm to 7.45 am), tick the ‘variante lanes’ box.

Follow the Canal de l’Ourcq greenway, then the Canal Saint-Martin, and on through the historic centre. On the Île de la Cité, Notre-Dame is the highlight of the route with its flamboyant Gothic architecture.
Since the fire in April 2019, the cathedral has been partially rebuilt. It is now open to the public. Once the restoration is fully complete, visitors will be able to enjoy the spectacular view of Paris from its roof, with its famous gargoyles and chimeras.

Three other major cycle routes pass through Paris : the Seine à Vélo, the London-Paris Greenway and the Véloscénie.

For a more direct route via Place de la Bastille, tick the “Variant lanes” box.

Itinerary Eurovelo3, recommended by CTE

Arriving from the Bondy footbridge on the cycle path on the right bank of the Ourcq Canal, you reach Paris at the Bassin de la Villette.

At the Stalingrad roundabout, follow the Saint Martin Canal to Place de la République.

We finally reach the Seine at the edge of the Marais via shared lanes (bus lanes or lanes with a speed limit of 30 km/h).

You should be careful when crossing large crossroads.

  • Pantin: Former Grands Moulins de Paris mills renovated
  • Paris
    • Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie and Géode
    • La Villette Park and Basin
    • Saint-Martin Canal Locks
    • Sainte-Chapelle
    • Notre-Dame and Archaeological Crypt
    • The Louvre…
  • Nearby, you can visit the Pompidou Centre, the Marais district and the Place des Vosges…
There’s plenty of choice, but watch out for tourist traps.

Bustling markets and cuisine from every continent in the Saint-Martin area, with terraces around the Bassin de la Villette.

There are several bike shops along the canals and near République.
