This year has been a weird one for the world, but it has unlocked some pretty amazing spots normally not available to ride. Matthias Dandois took advantage of a quiet night in Paris to film this new video filled with amazing riding at a ton of incredible spots. Needless to say, you won’t want to miss it!

“Paris is the most visited city in the world and is always full of energy and surprises.
The streets that were once full of cars, tourist and pedestrians suddenly became quiet and empty in November.
From the Champs Elysées to the Eiffel Tower and going through Montmartre or Paris Opera house, It made a perfect playground for BMX riding and some never-seen-before footage in the French capital who fell asleep.
