Promenade Plantée 3/3


To end with the "Promenade Plantée" serie, here is what the top of the Viaduc looks like. The 1 km walk uppon the Viaduc is filled with plants, trees and flowers. Then you can walk down the brigde I posted a picture of the day before yesterday, and go on for 3.5 km more of pedestrian walk leading you to the Bois de Vincennes (forest).

I am tempted by this, to walk and investigate. Thank you.

Great series. A new area of Paris for me. Is it pretty populated with people on the weekends? In other words, is it a safe area?

Such a great idea to reuse this railway viaduct this way. Did you make the walk to the Bois de Vincennes?

I live this viaduc. It featured in the Julie Delpy movie Before Sunset, and my eyes were looking all around.
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately – life’s busy!

To Harriet : Yes it is a safe area whith actually a lot of people on week-ends so if you can it's better on weekdays.

To Jill : I never walk to the Bois on the Promenade but only ride from part where the bridge is to the Bois. The Bois de Vincennes is also a great part of Paris. I'll post some pictures one day.

I just can't believe this. No, it must be somewhere in big garden, not on a bridge. Cheers
