Description

The iconic city of lights awaited me as I pedaled towards Paris. The Eiffel Tower, standing tall against the Parisian skyline, was a surreal sight. Cycling along the Seine River, I passed landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Louvre Museum, immersing myself in the cultural heart of France. Additional Information: Paris is not only about monuments; the Montmartre district is a bohemian haven with its artistic history and charming cafes. Exploring the narrow streets and visiting the Sacré-Cœur Basilica offer a different perspective of the city.
