Road Surface
The road surface through most of this area is asphalt. In some sections the course narrows to the equivalent of two and a half lanes, but the stream of runners has begun to spread out. Most participants will find they have plenty of "breathing room" and space for passing There are stretches where bike and jogging paths parallel the course, giving those who want to move forward some extra room. |
City of Vincennes
The area surrounding this park is the city of Vincennes. Once considered by royalty as a distant wooded refuge from the noise and confusion of medieval Paris, it is now a large suburban community with a wealth of recreational opportunities. Visitors should consider allowing time for biking and running through the Bois de Vincennes. |
