With its cedars, oaks, planes and ginkgo biloba trees, the Bois de Boulogne offers a country cycle ride in the west of Paris! Join us at the Arc de Triomphe for the start of the ride. A large public park in the west of Paris, the Bois de Boulogne is an oasis of greenery in the heart of France’s capital city. To access its network of 15 kilometres of cycle paths, start from the Arc de Triomphe. From here, cycle along avenue de la Grande Armée to Porte Maillot, one of the entrances to the 850-hectare park. A former hunting ground, the landscaped park includes lakes, waterfalls, islands, beautiful pavilions and woodland paths. The Bois de Boulogne encompasses Bagatelle Park, the Auteuil Garden and Glasshouses and the Pré Catelan as well as the Jardin d’Acclimatation, offering a real breath of fresh air for all the family. If you want to use the Paris bike-share service, you’ll find a dozen Vélib’ docking points along this route, mainly located on the roads running alongside the park.
