particular, Place de l'Etoile and Place de la Nation have ring roads running around the outside which make for a good bypass route. Finally, there are a few roads in Paris which are entirely forbidden to cyclists, in particular the 'Voie Georges Pompidou' (the high-speed express lanes running along the Seine), the tunnels underneath Les Halles, the Boulevard Périphérique beltway, and certain other ramps, tunnels, and underpasses. These will all be marked with a sign showing a bicycle on a white background, surrounded by a red circle. You can find an excellent map of the bike network called Plan des Itinéraires cyclables at the information centre in the Hôtel de Ville .
