What a cool spot in Paris. It's like the highline in NY. It was a cold winter day when we were there, but I still had a great time walking the path.

Description
Created in 1988 by Philippe Mathieux and Jacques Vergely on the former railway line, which linked Place de la Bastille to Varenne-Saint-Maur from 1859, the Promenade Plantée mixes areas of wild vegetation that has sprung up alongside the railway line with more modern landscaped areas. It begins behind the Bastille opera house and runs above avenue Daumesnil to the Jardin de Reuilly: it is the famous Viaduc des Arts. The Allée Vivaldi then comprises the shopping part of the walkway. Then, it continues through tunnels and trenches and ends at Porte Dorée and the Bois de Vincennes. An extraordinary journey along 4.5 km planted with many types of lime and hazelnut trees, climbing plants, rosebushes and other plants. The walk gives you the opportunity to admire various remarkable views of the most modern and typical parts of the 12th arrondissement.

Lovely green walking track through a bit of Paris. To our surprise it was not crowded at all! We started near Piccus and ended near Bastille to visit the nearby markets.

If you're in the 12th, you have to walk at least a part of this park. It's a wonderful path through the southeastern part of the city. Beautifully maintained, it's full of greenery and flowers. Though a lot of people use it as a jogging path, it's intended for people who just want to walk and enjoy it. We went all the way to the end, and it was really fun.

Very nice to see greenery at a height with Paris surrounding it. Quiet to walk by.

If you expect something attractive for all the tourists visiting Paris you will not find it here. Former railways transformed in a green alley that can guarantee some serenity and beautiful views.
