Bike paths in Paris


Paris by bike - Picture Mairie de Paris

Parisians have access to 314 kilometers of bicycle paths inside Paris and 23 km in the Boulogne and Vincennes woods.
At the same time, temporary operations to stop traffic on some streets are continued. These streets are reserved on Sundays and public holidays for pedestrians, cyclists and roller-blades.

 

Cycling plan

 

The first phase of the cycle plan has focused on the main axes of the capital, and a more rational network has been set up using a North-South itinerary (Porte de Pantin / Châtelet / Porte de Vanves) and an East-West itinerary (Bois de Vincennes/Concorde/Bois de Boulogne).

A non-council commission of elected representatives, technicians and associations has studied them. It includes bypass links and a vicinity networking to connect districts.

Today, 314 km of bike paths are available.
