CYCLING THROUGH PARIS Cycling through Paris is as French as berets and baguettes, especially when considering more than 435 miles of cycle paths and routes have been installed, many of which stretch into the suburbs. So, during your vacation in the City of Lights, spend your day biking through Trocadéro Gardens to Bois de Boulogne. About six miles, the trail starts at the Trocadéro Gardens where you’ll take beautiful photos before the Eiffel Tower, green space and cascading fountains. Ride through the legs of the Tower into Champs de Mars to take another photo on the opposite side, double back and curve left along the river toward the Île aux Cygnes, Paris’ secret island in the west. At the southern tip of this slender island, check out the replica of the Statue of Liberty; the 72-foot statue was gifted to Paris on July 4, 1889, by America’s French community and faces west toward its twin in New York City. After crossing to the opposite side of the river, enjoy the posh local architecture before heading into the 2,100-acre Bois de Boulogne, a stylish playground with a boating pond, a small zoo and a horse racetrack.
