You step off the curb and the city widens: cobblestones hum under a big bike as the Arc de Triomphe holds its ground at the center of a dozen avenues. The ride circles Place Charles de Gaulle with Parisian precision, then eases into the broad sweep of the Champs-Élysées. Trees line the way like sentries, their leaves nudging you forward past cafés and storefronts that have watched centuries of promenades.
