“Paris Toujours” Route Details (Paris)
As the second-longest route in Zwift’s Paris, Paris Toujours is the analog to Heart of Montmartre. Both routes follow the pattern of “3 laps of Champs followed by 3 extended laps that include Champs+Montmartre”. But while Heart of Montmartre includes the northwestern road to Parc Monceau, Paris Toujours uses the southeastern road that leads to the Madeleine and Église Saint-Pierre de Montmartre.

Route Description
Beginning from the Paris start pens, you will ride the standard lead-in around the Jardin des Tuileries on the east end of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, heading up the Champs and through the lap banner, which is the route’s official start and finish line.
From here, ride three laps of the standard counterclockwise Champs-Élysées circuit, which includes the Lutece Sprint on lap.
After those three laps, you’ll begin your first of three laps of an extended circuit which takes in the Champs, Église Sprint road, and Montmartre. This circuit starts with an almost complete lap of the Champs-Élysées, but you turn right toward the Madeleine just before finishing the lap. From here you head up to the Église Sprint, then turn right and head up the Montmartre KOM before descending to the Tchou Tchou Sprint and coming past the Madeleine again before proceeding on through the Champs lap banner.
Two more laps of this extended circuit are all you have left. Give it a good push up Montmartre, don’t forget to take in the panoramic views at the top, and as always… Ride On!
