Strasbourg bike route

Petite France

1.5 km from the shop — 7 minutes, along the quays.

Petite France is 1.5 km from our shop, seven minutes by bike along the quays. It is the most photographed quarter in Strasbourg, and also the most pedestrian: the bike is how you get there quickly from the station, not how you cross it.

The route from the shop

  1. 1

    Join Quai Saint-Jean via Rue du Faubourg-de-Saverne and follow the Ill south-west.

  2. 2

    Stay on the quays as far as the Ponts Couverts and the Barrage Vauban.

  3. 3

    The heart of the quarter, Rue du Bain-aux-Plantes, starts just behind them.

Distance measured by us from 4 Rue du Faubourg-de-Saverne along the cycle network, rounded. Times are estimated at 14 km/h on a classic bike and 19 km/h on an e-bike. These are not GPS tracks.

Where to leave the bike

Racks along Quai de la Bruche and near the Barrage Vauban. The cobbles and footbridges are for walking: lock the bike before you head into the lanes.

Our tip

The roof terrace of the Barrage Vauban is free to walk up and gives the classic view over the covered bridges — far clearer than from water level.

Other sights by bike
