By bike, on skates…  Paris, free as the wind. Near to the main train stations and the principal tourist routes, you’ll find companies renting bicycles for a day, a weekend or a week Regularly serviced, sometimes equipped with baskets or with child seats, bicycles give you the chance to see Paris at your own pace thanks to the special cycle lanes that criss-cross the city. Certain routes are entirely given over to cycling on Sundays and public holidays: as part of the “Paris Respire” (“Paris Breathes”) campaign. Be careful though, Paris is not like Amsterdam and some thoroughfares are not exclusively reserved for bicycles. See the map of cycle lanes (in French) See “Bicycles and rollerblades: travelling light”

When it comes to rollerblading, on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons enthusiasts get together for an enjoyable trip across Paris on skates. Current regulations oblige you to stay on the pavements: you are considered to be a pedestrian and so you have to wait at the traffic lights to cross! As you’ll be travelling at around 15 km/h (9/10mph), be extremely careful, avoid bumping into any pedestrians or cars and be sure that your civil liability insurance covers any damage you might cause.
