Run the Lights

⚠️ 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.

Our meeting point and finishing line

We’ll see in the distance the building of the king’s tax collectors (concierges), which also served as a prison, while running along the Seine river on the Paris Plage pedestrian road.

We’ll see in the distance the illuminated Pont Neuf while running along the Seine river on the Paris Plage pedestrian road.

The birthplace of Paris, we’ll know some of its magic stories and admire its façade under reconstruction.

We’ll exit the Louvre by the Tuileries garden, where we’ll also have the chance to see the main Christmas market in Paris there. As the place gets very crowded during the holidays season, we’ll maybe have to walk for a while.

This is definitely the most famous square in Paris. An obligatory stop to admire the Tuileries garden, on the one side, and the beginning of the Champs-Elysées avenue, on the other, having the Seine river and the National Congress facing us across the Concorde bridge.

We’ll admire the Eiffel Tower and the Invalides from the fanciest bridge in Paris, built for the Universal Exhibition in 1900.

We’ll take a secret passageway to come inside the Louvre Palace, with its illuminated facades and its shiny pyramid.

We’ll pass by this neoclassic style exhibition room built for the Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1900.

We’ll pass by this art nouveau style exhibition room built for the Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1900.

We’ll be facing the Invalides from the bridge Alexander III.

A large pause will be made at the Trocadero square to appreciate the most beautiful lights of Paris of all: the Eiffel Tower. The ones running half the route can quit here, for all the monuments will have been seen.

The Iron Lady is the most beautiful shiny monument in Paris at night!

The old train station turned into a museum for the Impressionists and modern art.

This is probably one of the most beautiful avenues in the world, which gets even more beautiful and shiny during Christmas. It’s a real pleasure running there at night!
