PBP Preparation: Bike Route from Paris to the Start
For those staying in Paris before PBP, here is a bike route from the Arc de Triomphe to the start in Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines.
The route is easy to follow, yet it doesn’t see a lot of traffic. There is a nice bike path after you ride past the Chateau of Versailles. The only tricky turn is toward the end, the left onto the D129 “Rue Emile Zola,” which is a small street on a steep hill. The total distance is just under 25 km: A perfect warm-up for the big ride.

Thanks,Jan. It is very helpful. I will be staying not far from the Arc de Triomphe and it will help me navigate to the start.
thanks so much, we are going to ride there from Montmartre on saturday, for the bike inspection.
Joel,
I am not sure when your inspection time is, but I will also be riding from Montmartre on Saturday morning. I if the times work out and we could organize I would love to ride over with someone. I’ve included my email in this comment, feel free to contact me if you would be open to this.
Didn’t realize email wasn’t visible. Mine is: tpkruse@gmail.com.
