    If you wish to stop walking : ride a bicycle after renting it at RATP (the metro company). You can get a bicycle at Les halles, Hotel de Ville, Bassin de la Villette, Bercy, Porte d'Anteuil, Bois de Vincennes. They are open from 10AM to 6PM. You must leave a deposit of 150 euros and if the bicycle is stolen you are charged with a sum of 76 euros. The week end, 1 hour = 4 euros, 1/2 day = 10 euros. A week day : 7 euros for 1 day.

    Yes, it is possible to byke in Paris. And if you take some precautions, it can be quite safe too! You just have to dare, and if the wheather is fine, it can be a very nice way to discover the city. the following web site will give you, in English, many practical infos, including a map of the bike paths. Many of those paths are also for roller-blades users and pedestrians. Renting a bike is very easy in Paris, here are a few links in English - roue libre is run by the french metro company, yes!!! They offer very good services, and I have been using them every once in a while! - paris-vélo has 30 years of experience in renting, and have good price and services. Every friday, the non-profit organisation paris rando vélo organises huge free only-bike tour in Paris, securised by many volunteers. Meeting point is at 09.30PM in front of Hôtel de Ville. And every 3rd sunday at 10.30am.

    If you are staying for 2 days or less, your best choice, to see the main attractions in Paris, is by bicycle. Some sections along the Siene river are closed to motorists and open to pedestriants and cyclists Sundays from March to November , 10am to 5pm. Contact the cycling centre run by RATP at Les Halles, 1e district. 08-10-44-15-34, you can rent a bike for about 12€ all day.

    Biking in Paris

    Renting a bike is the best advice I could give you during current strikes in Paris! You can find these lovely white bikes with or without baskets (as on pic) with the ad of "Monoprix" in Les Halles Forum. Renting is: 20 euro per weekend or 30 euro per week. Thus, it's much cheaper to rent the bike for the week and have a real fun and pleasure to see Paris on bike! If your tyre is flat, at any gaz station you can pump it up for free!

  • A velib station - Paris
    A velib station
    by mariev, 4 more photos

    The velib' is an acronym for Vélo Liberté (bike freedom) Since July 2007, over 20 000 self service bikes are available all over Paris (there is a station about every 400 meters). The bikes are unisex and adjustable (fit anybody over 1,40 m) How does it work ? First you get a a subscription (to get a user ID): 1€ for one day (24H), 5€ for a week (both available at the stations) or 29€ for one year. There is a 150€ security deposit blocked on your credit card. Cards accepted : Chipped cards (Visa or Mastercard or Amex). Then (using your ID), you pick a bike at any station and once you are done with the bike you just put it back at the next station (push it in any docking point, the bikes are chipped and recognized). The first half hour is free, second half hour is 1€ and so on (there are other systems for longer rentals, for example see www.rouelibre.fr). You can use a bike as often as you want during your subscription's validity. The system is very popular for short rides.

    This city government system, with thousands of bicycles located all over Paris in "stations", allows you to rent a bicycle for one-half hour or less at no cost, and for longer at rapidly increasing rates, providing you have taken out a subscription (inexpensive). Those who wish to subscribe by the day or week do so at the automatic computer terminals located at the bicycle stations. You need a credit card for the day and weekly subscriptions, and presumably you are charged at least €150 if you don't return the bicycle. You can search in advance for bicycle rental stations by entering your address on the velib internet site mentioned above, but in theory they will soon be located every few hundered meters throughout Paris.

  • Since summer 2007 there is an exciting bicycle plan in Paris called Velib. You pick up a bike from one of the bike stations and leave it again at the bike station nearest to where you want to be. From there you do the same. It's a very low cost, healthy and fun way to explore! Click here for more info on how this works.

    In good weather the bicycle is a great way to take it slow and see the sights. You miss too much in a car. At night you can walk and see even more!

    Perhaps in the countryside life can be more relaxed. To stay dry it is necessary to go au natural to cross the water in the remote area. This picture make me smile. Comme des innocents dans le jardin d'Éden.
