What if March 8th was also experienced from the seat of a motorcycle, cruising through the streets of the capital? To mark International Women's Rights Day 2026, the French Federation of Angry Motorcyclists (FFMC) is calling on women and men riders across Île-de-France to gather on avenue Foch for a motorcycle parade through Paris. The ride is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. from Porte Dauphine, the chosen assembly point that will allow the convoy to form before crossing the city. Female motorcyclists are invited to lead the procession if they wish — though it's not mandatory — while all two-wheel motorized vehicle riders, whether gasoline or electric, are welcome to join, regardless of engine size.
At the start, participants will be handed balloons to help identify the procession in public spaces. Activities are scheduled throughout the route, according to information shared by the FFMC 91, although the detailed itinerary has not yet been made public. The goal is to create a visible gathering in Paris for International Women's Day, highlighting the role of women in the motorcycle community. Choosing a parade allows for a different way to occupy the streets, with roaring engines and passionate conversations among enthusiasts.
Whether you're a regular rider or an occasional motorcyclist, this motorcycle parade is a great opportunity to join the procession and cruise through Paris for an afternoon. Just arrive at the specified time to hop in and ride alongside other motorcycle enthusiasts exploring the city. Ready to fire up your bike and grab your helmet?
