Since the COVID pandemic, hiking has become the most popular outdoor activity in France. Meanwhile, cycling and other sustainable mobility options are also seeing a surge in popularity. This is a lasting trend that allows travelers to connect with nature and explore cultural heritage outdoors! From January 30 to February 1, 2026, a brand-new event, Paris Randos Nature, will take place at Vincennes, inside the Paris Floral Park, to celebrate and share this passion!
All nature lovers are invited, with the program featuring everything you need to start hiking or improve your skills in complete safety, alongside industry professionals. Whether you're hiking, biking, skiing, snowshoeing, horse-riding or canoeing, you'll find what you're looking for, and be able to ask questions and exchange tips on the best spots, the best organization and the best equipment to take along!
Visitors will also find tour operators specializing in trekking, trail running, and hiking, along with industry federations and associations. There’s a selection of unique accommodations focused on nature, as well as dedicated spaces for new technologies and Van Life, a trend especially popular among younger generations. The event promotes a more sustainable approach to wilderness travel, offering innovative vacation options through ecotourism and immersive experiences that emphasize respect for the environment, wildlife, flora, and trails.
On the agenda, attend insightful talks and panel discussions, try out the latest equipment and innovative techniques, watch live demonstrations, and participate in hands-on workshops. Children can enjoy a dedicated area, and visitors can also catch screenings of films, reports, and documentaries, including the world premiere of "The Finish Line".
To mark the event, the French Federation of Hiking is hosting a hike every day:
