    Very 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.

    Grab a snack or a drink and walk this elevated garden path above the streets of Paris. Very lovely, quiet place with some unique views of the city.

    I don't know why but this path is not well-known, it's good to keep it as a secret It'skm way in a green path from the heart of Paris to the Vincennes Wood. This is an enchanting walk to do in family

    Nice green strip in the middle of the city. The view on to the neighbouring houses is the best.

    A 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.

    Fantastic in spring with the flowers and trees budding. Great for a sunday stroll or jogging or just calmly commuting to work/the centre. Nice view of the city and the surroundings.

    This is awesome. Walk along an old railway now full of flowers plants and surrounded by beautiful Parisian buildings 😍

    I don't know why, but this path is not well-known - it's good to keep it a secret. It's in a green path km away from the heart of Paris to the Vincennes Wood. An enchanting walk to do with family.

    The original "old railway viaduct turned into a park" story - before New York built its fashionable High Line. Take a nice walk and enjoy the variety of Parisian architecture around you.

    If you’re heading back to Marais you might want to take the high road and enjoy a walk along this long, planted walkway

    La Coulée Verte is Paris’s version of the High Line; it’s near the Gare de Lyon and it’s a wonderful place for a stroll.

    A wonderful place to walk or job and get away from the bustle of lower street life.

    This is a one mile stretch of abandoned railroad line about five stories up from street level. The perfect place for a walk, a run or a saunter!

    Nice walk through an old railway track which has been converted to a lovely garden. Perfect for exploring the city's architecture from a higher ground.

    A 2.8-mile parkway along the abandoned Vincennes railway line that was an inspiration for New York’s High Line. Start at the staircase entrance at the western end.

    So nice to run here. No cars, just flowers and trees around. Run from Bastille (entrance next to the Opéra Bastille) to Bois de Vincennes.

    A lovely raised walkway in the city. New Yorkers, this is what the High Line was based on.

    Chemin 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.

    Si vous avez un chien, gare aux gardiens. Je me bats tous les jours pour que mon chien-guide y puisse se balader paisiblement.
