Coulée Verte René-Dumont, Paris
Created in 1988 by Philippe Mathieux and Jacques Vergely on the train 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 Daumesnil Avenue to Reuilly Garden: it is the famous Viaduc des Arts. The Alley Vivaldi then included 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, rose bushes 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.
