Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world to explore by bike. With its wide boulevards, charming squares, riverside paths, and famous monuments around every corner, there’s no better way to see it all than on two wheels.
Thanks to a growing network of bike lanes and car-free zones, cycling through Paris is safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable. And when you rent a bike from Unlimited Biking Paris, located near the iconic Eiffel Tower, you’re perfectly positioned to ride through the city’s best sights all in a logical and scenic loop!
Here are the top 10 spots to bike to in Paris, starting and ending at the Unlimited Biking store:
1. Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars
Start your ride at the Unlimited Biking shop, located just steps away from the Eiffel Tower. This is the perfect first stop. Using the Unlimited Biking lock included with your rental, hope off your bike and snap a photo of the Iron Lady from the wide lawns of the Champ de Mars. The park is also ideal for warming up your legs and getting comfortable on your Unlimited Biking hybrid or eBike.
2. Trocadéro
Cross over to the Trocadéro Gardens, just across the river from the Eiffel Tower. This spot offers arguably the best views of the tower, especially at sunrise or sunset. With your Unlimited Biking rental, you’ll be able to zip up the hill and enjoy the fountains and sculptures here without the crowds.
3. Les Invalides
From Trocadéro, bike through quiet streets to Les Invalides, the grand complex of golden domes housing Napoleon’s Tomb and the Army Museum. The esplanade is spacious and bike-friendly, perfect for a quick stop and a few photos.
4. Musée d’Orsay
Next, head east along the Left Bank of the Seine to the Musée d’Orsay, housed in a beautiful former railway station. Park your bike and admire the building’s exterior, or lock it up and pop inside to see world-class Impressionist art.
5. Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame
Cross the river to Île de la Cité, the historic heart of Paris. Here you’ll find Notre-Dame Cathedral, still stunning even as it’s being restored. Circle the island for incredible views of the Seine and the charming Place Dauphine.
6. The Marais
From the island, ride into the lively and historic Marais district. Known for its narrow medieval streets, boutiques, and cafés, the Marais is a joy to explore on one of Unlimited Biking’s city bikes. Don’t miss Place des Vosges, one of Paris’s prettiest squares.
7. The Louvre and Tuileries Garden
Continue west to the Louvre Museum. Admire the iconic glass pyramid and the grand palace courtyards, then pedal into the Tuileries Garden, a formal park that stretches toward Place de la Concorde. This area is especially charming in the late afternoon light.
8. Place de la Concorde and Pont Alexandre III
Ride through Place de la Concorde, where the grand obelisk stands, then head back toward the river to cross the stunning Pont Alexandre III, Paris’s most ornate bridge, lined with golden statues and lamps.
9. Seine Riverbanks
Before you return to the shop, take a peaceful ride along the newly car-free banks of the Seine. This path winds under the city’s historic bridges and gives you a whole new perspective of Paris, away from the traffic above. Unlimited Biking’s smooth-rolling bikes make this section a true pleasure.
10. Return to the Eiffel Tower and Unlimited Biking
Complete your loop back at the Eiffel Tower and the Unlimited Biking shop. Drop off your bike, and if you have energy left, enjoy a picnic in Champ de Mars or climb the tower itself for a bird’s-eye view of your route!
