Discover Paris by bike during your city trip
During a weekend in Paris, the bike is a great way to explore the city. At no less than 750 places across the entire city, thousands of bikes are waiting to be used. There isn’t a city in the world where the bike is becoming as popular. With more than 400 km of newly constructed cycle paths, you can cycle peacefully and safely past the most beautiful sights of Paris. The city's growing pro-bike culture is all thanks to the current mayor who has taken bicycle friendly measures like doubling the number of bike paths and setting up the successful bicycle scheme.

Stroll through lush city parks
Would you like to relax during your city trip by combining the city with nature? Then visit the special park Le Viaduct des Arts. From 1859 to 1969, the railway line that connected Bastille and Vincennes stations ran through this extraordinary park. In 1996 the route was transformed into a 'Promenade Plantée': a 4.5 km long park. You will find nice shops and ateliers in the carefully restored arches. Want more nature? Wander through the gardens of the city park Jardin du Luxembourg: a green oasis of peace in the middle of Paris. Or climb the many hills in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and enjoy beautiful views of Paris.
