Paris has some famous and beloved parks. The Jardin des Plantes, The Tuileries, and the Jardin du Luxembourg are all famous green spaces that Parisians and visitors love. However, there’s a little-known park that is just as wonderful as any of these – the Promenade Plantée. It’s elevated up to 10 metres above the city, and an underrated sight in Paris. Just like New York City’s celebrated High Line, the Promenade Plantée is a great way to take in the centre of the city, from a quiet leafy green vantage point.
The Promenade Plantée was built over a disused section of elevated train track, running for 4.7km from near the Opéra Bastille all the way to the Bois de Vincennes. The train tracks are long gone, and instead, there are beautiful green gardens, archways, pools and fountains that stretch across its entire length.
