The Paris Marathon is currently the largest marathon in Europe with over 50,000+ participants and a marathon not to miss; running past the major city landmarks …you will see it all! As the race states:

The French capital's [marathon traces the] most famous avenues and plazas, from the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, where they take the start, towards the Place de la Concorde. From the Rue de Rivoli they'll then sweep through the Opéra Garnier, the Place de la Bastille. After a glimpse of greenery in the Bois de Vincennes, views of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower point the way home to the Arc de Triomphe.
