Eugene MayskyAugust 1, 2013Very nice place for a walk or hike, lots of beautiful flowers, bushes and trees. Take a bottle of water and go for a long walk/run. Especially gorgeous during the sunset.

Jana A. KriMay 22, 2022A somewhat less-known spot in Paris but it’ll give you all the vibes. A refuge from the busy city on the elevated former railway line. If you follow it until the end, it will be a good 5km walk.

Lisa StarbucksJuly 7, 2018Nice green strip in the middle of the city. The view on to the neighbouring houses is the best.

Perfect for exploring the city's architecture from a higher ground.UpvoteDownvote- Alex BaxevanisJanuary 1, 2013The original "old railway viaduct turned into a park" story - before New York built its fashionable High Line.

Simon BrangerMarch 25, 2015Chemin fleuri de Bastille a Vincennes. Idéal pour se balader au calme quand il fait beau. Éviter le tronçon Bastille-Gare de Reuilly pour le jogging, trop de monde.Upvote2Downvote
