Paris Running Guide
No surprise, Parisians have done well in curating picturesque and well-manicured park routes for runners, so much so that you’ll rarely find runners on the streets. A run along the Seine is all but required, especially since a long stretch was recently closed to cars. Wherever you go, head out early to miss the big crowds.
