While meteorological spring just started this March 1st 2024, you might want to travel to France for a weekend or a little week of peace. But your choice of destination can sometimes be limited by a fundamental problem: the accessibility of French cities without a car. That’s where the company’s ranking of cities that are easy to visit on foot comes into play Parisianwhich partially collected data from the web Misterboodbeer. For easy pedestrian mobility, 20 cities were selected, the order of which we will share with you at the end of the article. What is the methodology of this classification?
Several criteria for choosing cities that can be visited on foot
Transport is not the only chosen criterion. First, Paris was voluntarily excluded from the study in order to leave the capital. So in the criteria we find: travel time (from Paris), number of places and activities (tourist or not) of the studied cities (museums, popular places, the presence of the sea, free time or even activities). Culinary criterion is also integrated, p number of restaurants per capita in each city. Finally, of course, the number of hotels is taken into account, as well as the dependence of these cities on cars.
logical, The 20 easily accessible cities generally have several hundred thousand inhabitants. Small towns, further from the center, most of them require a car or quite a long journey from Paris. This is also what Didier Arino, associate general manager of Protourisme, always s Parisian : “The essential element when you don’t have a car is to be mobile. Overall, large metropolises are organized to allow for seamless car-free mobility.“.
