Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Nature & Parks
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

This disused railway line in the 12th arrondissement has been turned into a 4.5 km long tree-lined path meandering through buildings and providing a green oasis. It is difficult to find the start at the Jardin Charles Peguy end as this is at street level and there are some dingy tunnels to make your way through. We caught the Metro and got off at Porte Doree and wandered along several streets till we asked a local to pint us in the right direction. Once on the pathway, you can walk at your own pace and it ends at the Viaduc des Arts (opposite the Gare de Lyon train station). Well worth an afternoon visit

We found this park just walking and entering. It was a great experience and my daughter had a blast, especially looking at the fishes in the pond. This is a big park and you need time to explore all the sides. We need to go back and explore other parts of park. There is a lot to spend time. There are bathrooms, swings, places to sit and enjoy lunch or just have a nice picnic. I think I didn't even know about this before, but it was great to find it. I hope you do enjoy it!

Absolutely stunning visually, peaceful. A delightful moment of relaxation & escape, if only for a few minutes. However, I spent half of my morning simply wondering the grounds. A light drizzle moved in and though the tourists may have been scurrying away, the joggers, locals and wildlife carried on. I felt so relaxed and unhurried. I watched swans and geese being fed nearly by hand. I videoed a crow devour a deceased rat. Hey, it's Paris. Of COURSE there are rats. A very short walk from Porte Dorée with its light-rail stop - exempt from the Paris Metro Strike - this quick getaway is a spot I shall revisit, once COVID has moved on and I'm allowed back into Paris. I have a new love in my life. She will adore this space. I'm sure you will as well. I bid you Peace. ~Jan 1, 2020

Coulée Verte René Dumont an elevated park/walk starting on the top of an old railway viaduct, (viaduc des arts) a fabulous walk with, no scooters or bikes and only a couple of joggers. We did a couple of kms (the walk totals 4.7 km if you go right to the end), we stopped at Jardin de Reuilly Paul Pernin, (a beautiful green space, where we stopped for lunch), the walk continues over a pedestrian bridge for another 2k’s, continuing along the Coulée Verte René Dumont, finishing near Boulevard Périphérique.

These arches over the avenue Daumesnil tower over a block of interesting shops.

Viaduct of the Arts has two parts, (in our way of thinking). 1st, an elevated park on the top of an old railway viaduct. The park was inaugurated in 1993 and until New York’s High Line park opened in 2009, it was the only elevated park in the world.(awesome walking, see review, Coulee Verte Rene-Dumont). 2nd, The bottom of the viaduct, under the massive arches, is now home to artisans and crafts people of all descriptions for use as studios or ‘ateliers’ - everything from lamp makers to violin and piano makers. It was nice walking along, taking in the artiness of it all.
