🇫🇷 🚴 Biking Tour Across Paris [4K/60fps]

– In this video, we invite you to take a virtual bike ride through the whole Paris in a straight line from its western border Porte Maillot to the eastern Porte de Vincennes.
Initially, an attempt was made to meet the time indicated on the Google Maps route – 40 min (see the route map at 00:30). But given the need to follow traffic rules, etc. the whole trip took 10 minutes more.
If anyone wants to try this route and meet the 40 minutes deadline, you can let us know if you succeeded or not. Maybe someone has already done this before.

Whether you’re a tourist or a resident of Paris, this bike tour is a great way to get a feel for the city! Happy viewing!
