Description
This is a stunning tour where we run along the Seine banks among historic buildings, monuments and gardens in the very heart of Paris.This is also what we call the “Seinic” running tour, as we run on both sides of the Seine and take in all the spectacular sights that Paris is world famous for.
On the right bank, runners will venture through the Musée du Louvre and the Grand Palais. Long before it was a museum of art, the spectacular Louvre was a Royal Palace, constantly growing in size under a succession of French Kings. As the running tour continues runners will instantly see the exuberant Grand Palais with its surprising glass dome, which was created for the Universal Exhibition of 1900.
Crossing the Seine runners are greeted by the most iconic building in Paris and the city’s defining symbol – The Eiffel Tower. The sheer size and beautiful surrounding calls for a stop to hear about the history of the tower from 1889 and of course snap a picture or two.
The list of incredible sights and historic buildings does not stop here and next up on the running tour is Musée d’Orsay. The museum was originally built as a train station, and today the impressive Museum is specialized in French art from the second half of the 19th century.
We finally run in between the two banks on the Île de la Cité to take in the breathtaking view of the Notre-Dame Cathedral. This Gothic marvel is one of the enduring symbols of Paris and runners will have the chance to hear all about the cathedral and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
This 11 km tour is the amazing opportunity to run, to admire and to hear the history of the main Parisian sights – all in the company of a local Parisian. And in addition to the highlights mentioned above runners will also experience the Hôtel de Ville, the Pont Neuf, the Jardin des Tuileries, the Place de la Concorde, the Hôtel des Invalides and the Palais Bourbon.

I came in late Tuesday afternoon and ran Wednesday morning. The 11km tour was fantastic. Yohann adjusted to my fitness level perfectly and for this run it was lower than normal. Don’t be afraid to book even if it will be a slower tour. We stopped a few times for information about various sights. I’d recommend starting early so you have parts of the city almost to yourself. Yohann also spoke english very well. He quickly made me feel like we had been friends for quite awhile and was easy to talk to. I highly recommend him and this tour.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our running tour along the Seine and the main sites. We stopped quite a bit, but Yohan would have also kept running and do the explaining at the same time had we asked him to. Next time. We will definitely recommend the tour to friends and family.

Yohann gave me an excellent running tour of Paris this past week. We went for an early run of all the best sites in Paris. Yohann was right on time, he was full of fun and memorable information throughout the course of the tour, and he was very charming. He was very concerned with making sure that my experience was the best it could be. I highly recommend him as your running tour guide. I wanted to try a running tour at the recommendation of my friend and I am so happy I did. It is such a fun way to see a city. Leading up to the tour, Yohann was responsive and easily reachable with any questions. Also, after the tour he sent me an email of thoughtful ideas for me to tackle during the rest of my stay which was very helpful. Thank you for the great tour!

Yohann was excellent and we got to do a run in January on the few days it snowed. The weather was beautiful and running on snow made it a lovely experience. Yohann knows all the spots and is a good runner as well. His photos were memorable and it was my first time to experience snow. Lovely way to see Paris

Yohann and Go Running Toirs is a great way to see beautiful Paris. We went on an early morning run and the city was empty and we saw the sin rise over Paris – magical. Yohann is a great guide who goes at your own pace and he provides an inciteful tour that is lots of fun. A “must do” when in Paris and if you enjoy running!
