To promote human-scale mobility, weren't a comprehensive subway network, kilometers of bike paths, night buses, and bike rental stations as far as the eye can see enough? Now, even a cable car! I pale with envy when I think of my country's metropolitan areas. A cable car that flies not over valleys and

A multicolored concrete snake nestled around a four-hectare park. This is the Cité des Courtillières, a garden city built in the late 1950s according to an innovative urban design by Émile Aillaud. We reach it by crossing the diverse world of the northern suburbs. This route eventually leads us to Le

On Sunday morning, there are few cars around, the sky is clear. An invitation to get out despite the cold. We head south, crossing the city center. We know and love these two-way cycling "highways," where we're never alone, even though there are significantly fewer cyclists today than usual. We leave

For our first outing of the year, we're staying in the city, since nothing is familiar this morning, like the thin layer of snow lingering on the shaded streets. The stop-and-go traffic at the traffic lights is a chill to the bones. But Paris also offers some decent climbs that warm us. At the Buttes

An unusual Christmas, on the saddle, braving the cold of times gone by. But it's an opportunity to ride through Paris, decked out for the holidays and, admittedly, with few cars today. The city center unfolds before our beaming eyes; we stop sparingly in the freezing cold and take off our gloves for

We choose the shortest route to escape the city traffic and pedal steadily: the Canal de l'Ourcq. We have no destination; the

We arrive in Meaux by train and are already immersed in memories of the Great War. The heroism and sacrifice of the French in the Battle of the Marne are celebrated by the Americans with the donation of the statue that now stands next to the Great War Museum. We reach it before continuing our ride along

We reach Luzarches by train. The warm, sunny day invites us to take a trip out of town. In Chantilly, the racecourse is an institution, but the French national sport is horse racing. This year, Chantilly Castle has earned the title of France's favorite monument. We stop in Senlis to replace a tire on

We reach Boissy l'Aillerie by train and are already in open countryside. A long straight road quickly takes us to Normandy. Gisors is a quaint village with a fortified medieval castle. Its imposing and opulent Gothic church could easily be a cathedral. Today, contemporary art enhances its apse. We enjoy

Today we're heading into the woods. The Forêt de Meudon extends over more than a thousand hectares, between hills and lakes. Upon entering, from the Parc de l'Observatoire, southwest Paris is within sight. We cycle through the forest, yet manage to stay on paved roads. With a detour off the trail, we
