Tips from the Community
Yes, bicycles are prohibited. This is completely ridiculous.

Regarding the ban on bicycles on the banks of the canal and the people (Sunday walkers) who are complaining: this is a warning from the City of Paris (and not from the police, who have no jurisdiction) in case an accident occurs, it is a "discharge of liability". You should know that the canal is maintained all year round (mowing, strengthening the banks, pruning) with many vehicles present (trucks, tractors, excavators). They have priority, they are working and are not likely to let you pass if they want, for service reasons. So at that moment, you will be told that yes, there are prohibition signs and that you are not supposed to be there for your leisure. That said, as usual, common sense, politeness and respect for others will resolve 95% of potential conflicts, no point in crying scandal without knowing...

At first we thought it was a stupid idea to take the bikes with us — then there were more and more beautiful, worthwhile destinations like this one

The Butte de Montassis culminates at an altitude of 163m and dominates the surroundings. There is at its top a curious structure which is a geodesic chimney. This is used to measure the distances, dimensions and shapes of the Earth. This place is also a Sensitive Natural Area, so be sure to respect nature and its fauna, you may have a (very) small chance of even a badger (which remains a very discreet and nocturnal animal).
