Description
This is a stunning tour where we run along the Seine banks among historic buildings, monuments and gardens in the heart of Paris. We enjoy the world famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and the Grand Palais.
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 call 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.
This 7 km tour is the perfect opportunity to see the main sights of Paris such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum, while enjoying the incredible parks and breathing in the atmosphere of the French capital.

This was truly an amazing and wonderful experience, and I highly recommend Go! Running Tours Paris to everyone! From pick-up to drop-off, every moment was wonderfully memorable as I got to explore Paris wearing my running shoes! Shelly is an excellent tour guide. She is so personable and knowledgeable about the history of Paris and its important landmarks. We shared great conversations throughout the run. She took photos of me along our route to memorialize my run. I got to enjoy the most beautiful sunrise, along with this awesome tour experience. It became a cherished memory that very day. Thank you, Shelly and Go! Running Tours Paris for making my time in Paris truly tres magnifique!

Shelly, kindly meet us at our hotel at 6:30am. We ran past all the beautiful sites Paris has to offer. Never missing a photo opportunity while there was no-one around and the city was still waking up. Thank you Shelly for leaving us with a lovely experience of your city.

This running tour was an absolute blast! Yohann was not only fun and knowledgeable but very good at navigating around the city and helping me enjoy all the amazing sights. He kept at my pace (which was much slower than his, I’d imagine!) and took a lot of great pictures so I would have some wonderful souvenirs! Thank you Yohann for helping me make a fantastic memory in Paris!

From Boston, MA, US. My family spent 2 weeks on a touring vacation. running with my son (21) and Yohann was absolutely one of the highlights, and an experience I will never forget.
We were coming off a long flight, just a few hours out of CDG, and pretty tired. Yohann met us at our hotel and tailored our run to our needs. We woke up immediately.
He was charming, amiable, and fun, and showed us many places we’d come to explore and enjoy in the following days.
We ended up running a bit more than planned, but we could have gone all night. It was such a pleasure to see one of the world’s greatest cities this way.
I can’t recommend this experience enough. Loved it.
Thanks!

This was such a lovely way to see this beautiful city. We covered many of the main sights on this short tour. Yohann is a great guide with lots of interesting facts and snippets. He is also clearly a great runner but very kindly adopted escargot pace so I could cope…! Highly recommended!

The running tour through Paris with Yohann was the best experience! It was so fun to see the sights with a local and to learn more about Paris. It was like running with a friend and it is an amazing experience I will never forget! I was only in Paris for a quick trip but I am glad I made time for the running tour. And Yohann gave me recommendations on other places to make sure I see while here! Thank you!

I took my 2 kids on the basic 7k city tour with Yohann. It was a super way to see the city and he was patient and great fun. I have now done 7 city tours and Yohann’s was one of the best.

I highly recommend Yohann’s tour, it was just amazing. It was a great way to see some additional sights that I’d not otherwise have seen and it was also a great way (as a solo traveler) to get some great photos and historical information. I loved the tour.

Yohann is fantastic. He took me everywhere I wanted on foot, took amazing photos and emailed me where to go and what to do during my stay. I will personally use him again and recommend him to everyone I know.

Yohann was excellent. This is a must do for any runner/jogger. Not only will you get your run in, but Yohann will provide so much information and history of Paris. He even emailed me ideas of restaurants, cafes, and fun places to visit while we were here. I look forward to my next trip to Paris, which will be sure to include a tour with Yohann!
