Cycling in Paris

Paris: a biking paradise

Cycling in Paris is becoming more and more popular in the French capital, and it's all thanks to the current mayor who made changes to make cycling easier and safer – like doubling the number of cycle paths and promoting Vélib, the successful public cycle rental programme.

Interested in pedalling through Paris? Order Parijs… per fiets, a practical booklet with three cycling routes, tips and, of course, cycle rental locations (available in Dutch only). Price: € 19.90.
