The romance of ‘Springtime in Paris’ comes alive in this cycling journey complete with the Eiffel Tower, Champs de Elysees, Arc de Triumph, Seine River, old brick streets and a few showers bringing May flowers along your route. Architectural fans will also enjoy everything from Roman, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau, and Modern styling in the beautiful city of Paris with its unique flair. And don’t worry about traffic jams as this ride was filmed on a quiet Sunday morning in May, a less traveled time of the year. Next, you will cycle through the countryside west of Paris which takes you through Giverny, home of famous impressionist Claude Monet. Whether cycling through meadows high over the Seine River valley or through quiet, old-fashioned villages on a scenic route, you’ll appreciate the time well-spent in this charming region. The prize at the end of your ride will be a stroll through Monet’s estate and his unforgettable flower gardens and lily ponds. 60 minutes in length

Does Not Disappoint
I’m loving my Bike-O-Vision Paris & Giverney which is fun and interesting and takes the bite out of indoor riding. The time flies by now when I spend an hour biking indoors. The quality of the DVD is excellent, the music thereupon is engaging, typically French, and various tempos help me keep a moderate pace – not a fast pace though. The scenery is highlights of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, the Arch of Triumph, the Bastille, the Seine, the Champs Elysee, and small rustic towns and scenery in the Giverny area. I felt like I was seeing a good cross-section of Parisian culture. The quality of the bike ride itself is more than adequate, excellent splicing at lights or traffic slowdowns and definitely felt like a continuous bike ride. There is no talking on the DVD and only a few subtitles between tracks. I had borrowed a few other Bike-O-Visions from the library before purchasing one. All were of the same quality and I can’t wait to buy some more.

Made exercising enjoyable and something to look forward to
I love this bike video. I use to not ride my eliptical bike because it was boring. I love feeling like I’m riding thru Paris. I think Im going to wear this dvd out because i use it 6 days a week. I mute their music cuz i dont like it and i put on my own music and head phones and start pedaling. My music pumps me up. Theirs does nothing for me. I look forward to riding my stationary elliptical bike everyday now because of these dvds. I plan on ordering more.

Great video for stationary bike
I love the video, I loved Paris and it helps make the time go by faster. The music is funky so you can use your own!

DVD-R! … not professional DVD
Years back I purchased some Bike-O-Vision DVDs, and expected this new lot that I purchased recently to also be a proper DVD, but it is not! It is a DVD-R and only one that I ordered (Yellowstone) is an actual DVD. Why wasn’t this specified in the description? Some people might not be able to view DVD-Rs. The content of this Paris one is nice, but not happy with the DVD-R aspect.

A Winner!
Spouse and I really enjoyed indoor cycling together to this dvd! The tour through Paris was exciting, realistic and downright fun! Lived in Germany for almost 3 years (military dependent) but never got to Paris! With this virtual dvd we feel like we had the opportunity to visit the popular sites thanks to this wonderful BOV tour. There are no cons to this dvd: liked the country tour, Monet’s estate, and the music too! This is a winner! 🙂 I recommend this dvd.

Great when the weather is nasty and a ride out …
Great when the weather is nasty and a ride out is not possible. I love the Giverny segment as I am a professional artist and that is Monet’s home.

Pretty decent blu ray bike ride of Paris
So happy I came across this blu ray. Been looking for a some kind of video for my indoor walking. Pretty decent. Glad I got the blu ray as I have a 60′ tv. A few minutes at the beginning were a little anoying as this was shot in a rainy day and you see rain drops on the camera.
