All About Zwift’s Paris Expansion

Today, Zwift launches a Paris map expansion, and a big Tour Fever ride series to go with it! Read on to learn all about the new roads, routes, and real-life sites you can find in Zwift’s expanded Paris…

New Roads

The addition replicates the expanded finishing circuit which debuted at the 2025 Tour de France, while also adding a stretch of the Boulevard Malesherbes and Rue Royale, and a quick circuit around La Madeleine. All of the roads in the expansion are replicas of IRL roads, and many IRL landmarks can also be seen.

Here’s a full map of Zwift’s updated Paris, so you can get your bearings:

Notably, the three new sprints and the new Montmartre KOM are all one-way segments. There are also significant stretches of one-way road, including the full Montmartre climb/descent loop.

All in all, if we include usable lanes in our calculations (so a 2-way road counts as twice the length of a 1-way road), this expansion adds ~13.4 kilometers of road, which more than doubles the rideable roads in Zwift’s Paris.

New Routes

Today’s launch includes 10 new routes: 8 for riders+runners, and 2 which are run-only. Here’s the full list (click route name for details):

The expansion adds Paris’ first KOM segment, and three new one-way sprint segments:

• Église Sprint 250 meters at 0%
• Tchou Tchou Sprint 150 meters at -0.2%
• Monceau Sprint 300 meters at -0.2%

Siteseeing

The centerpiece of Zwift’s Paris expansion is the Montmartre climb, and the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre perched at its peak:

As you ride along the road below Sacré-Coeur, look right for a panoramic view of Paris, and understand why this is the second-most visited tourist site in the city after the Eiffel Tower (which you can see over your right shoulder).

There are many distinctive buildings, monuments, and other features that will feel familiar if you’re a regular in this part of Paris. Key sites include Église Saint-Augustin, the venerable Église Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, La Madeleine, Parc Monceau, and more:
