A morning bell rings, pedals click into motion and the city loosens its pace under two wheels. Starting steps from the Seine in the Marais, a day bike rental at Le Peloton Café puts you on a French-made bicycle with a basket bulging for bread and a phone mount guiding you down 300 km of dedicated lanes. You’ll slip through narrow streets, past 17th-century hôtels particuliers, and alongside riverbanks where barges drift like slow boats of history.
