Grand Tour of Bois de Vincennes (14 km)
Details
I invite you for a refreshing Sunday afternoon walk through the "Lung of Paris." We’ll be circling the entire Bois de Vincennes, tracing a scenic path that connects three of its iconic lakes: Lac de Saint-Mandé, Lac Daumesnil, and Lac de Gravelle. The terrain is flat and accessible, making this an "Easy" grade walk, though the 14 km distance will give you a great workout for the afternoon.
