The most beautiful running routes in Paris – and our favorite shoes for tackling them

Paris is full of inspiring courses for runners. To make the most of it, you need the right shoe: the Nike Vomero 18 ticks all the boxes. Nike Vomero 18: absolute comfort for running in the city Before putting on your sneakers and setting out to conquer the capital, you need to choose the right equipment. When it comes to urban running, the Nike Vomero 18 is a benchmark model for runners looking for comfort, stability and durability.

Designed for long-distance as well as everyday training, it combines a dual-density midsole with ZoomX and ReactX, offering flexible yet responsive cushioning. Its woven mesh upper ensures ideal breathability, even during summer sessions.

Bois de Boulogne: the oxygen version of endurance

A favorite spot for long-distance runners. To the west of Paris, the Bois de Boulogne offers over 15 km of trails, between lakes and shady paths. The natural terrain, sometimes supple, sometimes firmer, allows you to vary your pace. The Vomero 18 comes into its own here thanks to its progressive cushioning, which absorbs without ever weighing down the stride. Ideal for long weekend outings.

Canal Saint-Martin and Parc de la Villette: urban, lively, graphic

Here’s a perfect route for evening runners. From République, run along the Canal Saint-Martin towards La Villette, for an 8 km loop. You’ll come across barges, street art and packed cafés. The route alternates surfaces, and it’s here that the Podular outsole of the Vomero 18 shows its effectiveness. Solid grip, even on slippery sections.

The banks of the Seine, from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower

Running in a postcard setting. This 6 to 10 km route, depending on your mood, follows the banks of the Seine from the Ile de la Cité to the Eiffel Tower. Monuments, barges, cobblestones, it’s all there. Ideal for a sunrise or evening run. Thanks to its breathable mesh, the Vomero 18 offers remarkable comfort, even when temperatures rise.

Jardin du Luxembourg and the Latin Quarter: for a stylish split

It’s a favorite training ground for student athletes. The Luxembourg Gardens, extended by a number of steep streets in the Latin Quarter, are the perfect place for short- to medium-distance splits over a distance of 5 to 7 km. Perfect for testing the Vomero 18’s relaunch capabilities. Its soft lining and plush tongue ensure friction-free support, even on tight bends.

Why we recommend the Nike Vomero 18

• For ultra-comfortable cushioning, even over 20 km
• For impeccable performance, whatever the surface For breathability, essential in summer
• For its versatility: long distance, split, recovery For its sober, technical design, which blends in with urban style

It’s aimed at runners with a neutral stride, who want a reliable, durable and lightweight shoe. The Nike Vomero 18 is the trendy sports shoe of the moment, without question.

Another plus: the Podular outsole, which adapts perfectly to the varied surfaces of Paris, whether asphalt, cobblestones, gravel or damp quays. It’s the shoe you forget, because it never gets in the way. And that’s precisely what we expect from a good model: that it accompanies movement without imposing it.

Paris is a city like no other, and running in it isn’t just about training. It’s also about experiencing the city, feeling its rhythm, its architecture, its light. With the right routes and the right equipment, every run becomes an exploration. The Nike Vomero 18, with its comfort and precision, lets you concentrate on what’s essential: the moment.
