With the Panamées, the Comité de la randonnée pédestre de Paris (Paris Hiking Committee) invites the general public to discover the capital's narrow streets on foot. On October 16, 2025, take a tour of the 15th arrondissement through the centuries.

Wear comfortable shoes, bring what you need to face the weather, and off you go! Departure from Porte de Versailles at 7pm for a three-hour urban walk on Thursday, October 16, 2025! Accessible to all levels, including the less athletically inclined, the Panamées allow you to set off on a stroll, discovering a theme, without even leaving the confines of the capital, or just a little.

This month, the Comité départemental de la randonnée pédestre invites you to walk through the changes and centuries that have shaped the 15th arrondissement, from the pastures of Valgirard to the Citroën factories, on an exciting 7.5km route. Under the Merovingians, oxen grazed at Val Boistron, near the present-day town hall, which was later renamed Val Girard, before a nobleman decided to build a waterworks in a district that would eventually be called Javel! And let's not forget André Citroën, whose factory has disappeared, but whose name has remained.

Arrival around 10pm, at the Pont Mirabeau.
