Here's some information about renting bicycles in Paris:<BR><BR>You can rent bicycles at several locations, and rental includes helmets, locks, all necessary stuff including baby seats. The first four places also have organized tours at various levels; some of the others may - you should call them if you're interested in a tour. Many quais along the Seine are closed to automobiles for a time on Sundays - good time for riding.<BR><BR>Maison Roue Libre (at Les Halles)<BR>95, bis Rue Rambuteau<BR>Tel: 1-53-46-43-77<BR>Fax: 1-40-28-01-00<BR>all year<BR><BR>Rent a Bike<BR>Tel/fax 01-47-81-38-18<BR>Daily tours in English ot French run 3 1/2 hours or longer with a maximum of<BR>7 people.<BR><BR>Bike Shop<BR>9, rue Jacques Coeur<BR>75004 Paris<BR>Tel: 01-48-87--6-0-01<BR>Fax: 011-33-1-48-87-61-01<BR>several different tours in Paris<BR><BR>Mike's Paris Bike Tours<BR>http://www.bullfrogbikes.com<BR><BR>Paris V&eacute;lo Rent a Bike<BR>2 r Fer &agrave; Moulin<BR>Tel: 01-43-37-59-22<BR><BR>Escapade Nature<BR>Tel/Fax: 1-53-17-03-18<BR><BR>Paris &agrave; v&eacute;lo c'est sympa<BR>37 Boulevard Bourdon<BR>75004 Paris<BR>France<BR>Tel: 01-48-87-60-01<BR>Fax: 01-48-87-61-01<BR>E-mail : [email protected]<BR><BR>Paris Bike:<BR>Tel: 1-43-27-13-84<BR>Fax: 1-43-20-71-93<BR><BR>Paris-velo<BR>Tel 1-43-37-59-22<BR>Fax: 1-47-07-67-45<BR>For more Paris information e-mail me: [email protected]

On Sundays in Paris they close off the streets along the Seine to vehicular traffic and open them to bikes, skates rollerblades,etc. We had a great time two years ago riding bikes from one end of the Seine in Paris to the other. This year we plan on renting bikes in the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes.
