Overview
⚠️ Entre le 18 juillet et le 8 septembre 2024, la route sera modifiée en fonction de la réalisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de Paris. Nous n'irons plus à la Tour Eiffel ni à quelques monuments du centre de Paris compris dans la description de ce running tour, puisqu'ils seront bloqués pour les Jeux.
À la place, nous visiterons quelques monuments toujours ouverts au passage, tels que l'Hôtel de Ville, le Centre Georges Pompidou, Les Halles, le Palais Royal, la Place Vendôme et l'Opéra Garnier. Nous nous dirigerons ensuite à Montmartre, célèbre quarter artistique et lieu du fameux Moulin Rouge, culminant au sommet de la bûte Montmartre avec une vue imprennable sur tout Paris depuis la basilique du Sacré-Coeur. Ceci sera notre point de retour vers l'Hotel de Ville.
Nouveau point de rendez-vous entre le 18/7/24 et le 8/9/24 : à côté de la station de métro Hotêl de Ville, située en face de l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris, sur la rue de Rivoli.
