Castles & Monuments

Your journey starts from the square in front of Notre-Dame cathedral, zero point for the highways of France. After cycling along the roads of the capital discovering its sights, you will follow the charming Saint-Martin canal. This greenway gets you out of Paris without too much difficulty and takes you past fascinating isles and parks, into the world depicted by the Impressionists. The Seine will be your private guide taking you to Maisons-Laffitte, and many curiosities lie along your way.

The cycle route

Bicycle paths along the Villette basin to the Saint-Denis canal. From Saint-Denis station to Gennevilliers, the route takes a track along the T1 tramway, then crosses the Port of Gennevilliers to reach the "Promenade bleue". The bike ride then follows the Seine between islands and parks, reaching Chatou and Maisons-Laffitte. 
Be careful: no bicycle signage in Maisons-Laffitte
