The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame cathedral: Paris’ top sights are known the world over. Whether it’s your first time visiting or you’ve seen the city many times, to uncover the city the locals know, you’ll need to dig a little deeper. Whether it’s running through Paris’ pretty streets with a local guide, vintage shopping with a fashion editor or going on a culinary tour of Montmartre, these tours and experiences will show you a new side to the city.

Activities

Choose your distance: 6 km (4 mi) or 10 km (6 mi), and let’s go! We’ll be chasing the sunrise on a gentle run (your pace), plunging you into an unexpectedly empty Paris. At this time of the day, most people are still sleeping and the rising sun colours the monuments and buildings with nuances of pink and gold. This is Paris as you’ve probably never seen before! We’ve carefully planned every step of this running tour for you to learn inside stories and fun facts, have a great time and work out before breakfast. You don’t have to lift a finger: only to move your legs! Some reasons for joining a RUNRUN TOUR: ✔️Get to know Paris from a top-class local runner, learning things that you can’t find in a guide book ✔️We’re “the glamping of running”: Bottled water, healthy snacks and a waterproof running jacket in case of rain are provided ✔️Work out before breakfast, feeling free to earn later the calories burned ✔️Relax and don’t worry about getting lost or planning a running route by yourself
