Coulée Verte René-Dumont (Promenade Plantée)

The Coulée Verte René-Dumont, also known as the Promenade Plantée, is a unique linear park in Paris that traces the path of a disused elevated railroad track. Stretching for about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from Bastille to Bois de Vincennes, this green corridor inspired the creation of New York’s High Line. The promenade features tree-lined footpaths and trellised arcades, interspersed with colorful flowerbeds and vibrant street art. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil walk above the bustling city, surrounded by lush greenery and artistic expressions, making it a serene escape in the heart of Paris.
