The Seine slips past your wheels as the city wakes—glass pyramid glinting, café terraces unfurling napkins and chairs. On two wheels you move faster than a walking tour but slow enough to drink in façades: the iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower across the river, the flying buttresses of Notre‑Dame, and bourgeois streets where artisans still open shop each morning.
