You start on the right bank with the Conciergerie in view, a stone reminder of Paris’s public life, and the Seine immediately dares you to move faster. Pedaling along compact cobbles and riverside bike paths, the city unfolds in slices: île Saint-Louis’ narrow streets, the carved façade of Notre‑Dame, and the sudden iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower framed across the river.
