In recent years, Paris has been transformed into the world capital of cycling. This shift allows French and international tourists to discover certain sights and landmarks in a new way.
Last June, Paris welcomed around 3.8 million tourists, about 3% more than in the same period in 2025, according to the tourism office.
And as visitor numbers rise, more and more travellers are opting for bikes instead of buses or walking to get around.
On Paris's streets, bicycles are increasingly common, and tourists play a big part. Guided bike tours have boomed in recent years.
