Promenade du Vieux-Port (Old Port run)
For a short, scenic run with the city's prettiest backdrop, the Old Port promenade is the move. It's flat, runs past Notre-Dame and the old basins, and connects to the canal path if you want to extend. The catch is crowds — on a nice weekend it's chaos by mid-morning, so this is strictly an early-weekday-morning run. Do it at 6:30am and you have the waterfront and the skyline to yourself.
The flat waterfront promenade past Notre-Dame, the locks, and the basins — a short, scenic run best done early before the weekend crowds.
