📢NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES DURING THE OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES IN PARIS:

⚠️ Between July 18 and August 8, 2024, the route will be modified due to the holding of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. We will no longer go to the Eiffel Tower or to some monuments in the center of Paris included in the description of this running tour, since they will be blocked for the Games.

🏃 Instead, we will visit some monuments still open to visitors, such as Hôtel de Ville (Paris City Hall), Centre Georges Pompidou, Les Halles, Palais Royal, Place Vendôme and the Opéra Garnier. We will then head to Montmartre, a famous artistic district and location of the famous Moulin Rouge, culminating at the top of the Montmartre hill with a breathtaking view over Paris from the Sacré-Coeur basilica. This will be our return point to the Paris City Hall.

💝In the light version (shorter, around 6-7 km) of the Paris Je t'aime running tour, you have the option of quitting the tour at the Abesses metro station. We will visit the last monument there. After that, you can take the metro home, instead of running back to the meeting point.

🚩New meeting point between 7/18/24 and 9/8/24: by the metro station Hôtel de Ville, located opposite the Paris City Hall building, on rue de Rivoli.

___________________________________

If you're a morning person, then join this early bird jog and see the main landmarks of Paris! You'll work out and sight-see before breakfast, having plenty of time to visit more in-depth later the places you liked the most during your running tour.

We carefully planned our starting time. Despite the early start at dawn, most of the run will happen at daylight, while Paris is still waking up and free from the crowd. You'll be able to have a clear view (and wonderful pictures!) of all the landmarks, and watch a while later a beautiful sunrise behind the Eiffel Tower, if the weather is in our favor!

STARTING POINT AND FINISHING LINE

The starting point of the tour will be the Saint-Michel square, in the heart of Paris. The finishing line will be Trocadéro square, with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower.
