Created in 1988 by Philippe Mathieux and Jacques Vergely on the former railway 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 avenue Daumesnil to the Jardin
de Reuilly: it is the famous Viaduc des Arts.
The Allée
Vivaldi then comprises 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, rosebushes 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.
