People escape to Paris to indulge in art, food, fashion, and, for the truly passionate among you, marathons for charity.
You’ll start from the Champs-Élysées going downhill as smells of fresh bread intoxicate your senses. Past the Louvre, you pour into the heart of Paris propelled ahead by promises of wine and cheese at the 35 km mark.
Now you’ll move along the Seine under a series of tunnels before emerging at the Eiffel Tower, triumphant and ready to celebrate the night away.
