I rode Double Espresso in Zwift’s Paris and leveled up along the way. The route took me over Montmartre’s cobbles and back onto the broad streets for the Champs-Élysées and Lutece Express sprints.

The screenshots caught the climb toward Sacré-Cœur and a sprint with the Arc de Triomphe ahead—a Paris loop from the trainer.
