You'll start at the Place Fontenoy, in view of the École Militaire and the 1870 war memorial. Enjoy an unbeatable view of the Place Joffre, the Champs de Mars 🪐, and the majestic Eiffel Tower. And what would a visit to Paris be without a stroll along the Seine River banks? 🌊 That's why you'll be running alongside the Quai Jacques Chirac, with stunning views of the Pont d'Iéna and the Trocadéro on the opposite side! Along the way, take in the Pont de l'Alma, the Musée du Quai Branly, and the Invalides bridge, museum, and esplanade 🤩. See? There's plenty to take in over just 10 km!
