En baskets avec Paulette

En Baskets avec Paulette is a charity walk and road race in Paris, focusing on pairs rather than individual participants. It takes place during France’s Semaine Bleue, the national week dedicated to older people and caregivers, and Paris en Compagnie organizes it to support senior mobility and social connection. The Paris event includes a 4 km walk suitable for all ages and mobilities, including wheelchair users, and a 6 km race for runners aged 16 and over. Pairs can consist of seniors with family members, friends, or colleagues. A virtual challenge also allows duos to walk or run any distance they choose. The event has utilized locations like the Canal Saint-Martin, with a Village Solidaire and on-course activities contributing to its intergenerational, community atmosphere.
