Velib’ is the free bike rental service in Paris that sparked a trend across many countries in Europe.<\/p>\n

Throughout the city there are stations where Velib’ bikes are docked. When you are visiting Paris, you can purchase a pass for a small fee and then use the Velib’ bikes to get around. If you travel to Paris frequently, it is worth the time to get a yearly pass for Velib’ so you don’t have to wait in line at the payment machine. You can link the Velib’ pass to a Navigo metro pass for ease of use, too.<\/p>\n

Bikes from one Velib’ station can be returned at any other Velib’ station, so it’s a great way to do your Paris sightseeing. Velib’ is especially helpful when the Paris metro and buses go on strike (not uncommon!).<\/p>\n

When you rent a Velib’ bike in Paris, make sure to inspect the bike for damage, as some of the bikes are old or not in good condition.<\/p>\n

Velib’ schemes also operate in other French cities, including Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, and Lyon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
