Paris: Latin Moves



Paris
Latin Moves
Distance: 3.5 miles, a little over 5 km
Start and Finish: Denfert-Rochereau Métro Station

This is a nice short loop to end a busy work or sightseeing day. It takes you into the latin quarter which again is filled with places to tempt you for where you'd like to eat your post workout dinner. It is a bit touristy but full of friendly, funky, diverse people on every corner. In the evenings you can hear the music from the restaurants to accompany your run, and if you're lucky there will even be some street musicians playing you a personal workout soundtrack!

- Start at the Denfert-Rochereau Métro Station, which is wear the Catacombs also lie and you will see a lion statue in the center of the road as well. Run north(ish) towards the rover on Avenue Denfert-Rochereau.
- Take the left road when you come to the fork. This will cross Blvd de Port-Royal and turn into Blvd Saint-Michel. Take that all the way to the water and turn around.
- Follow the same path all the way back but when you reach the Catacombs, make a right up Raspail and again onto Rue Victor Considérant.
- Take a left on Rue Boulard for a few blocks and then a left on Rue Ernest Cresson. From there make a left on Ave. du General Leclerc and you will return to start.
