Christian Osburn and Paul Barron ran Bike About Tours for ten years before opening Le Peloton in 2015, a compact wood lined room on Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe where the tours still start and the coffee, roasted by Belleville Brûlerie, is made with an Australian and New Zealand accent by a team that has often come from there. Waffles and fresh juices are the food, counter seating is most of the seating, and the cycling community has made it a clubhouse.

A few minutes from the Seine and Île Saint-Louis, and open from eight every day. Ask about the bike tours at the counter; they are the reason the place exists.
