(Last Update: 04.09.2024) In this article, from one of the hidden corners of Paris, La Promenade Plantée or in other words The Green CouleeI want to talk about. When you come to Paris and want to surprise your loved one, spouse, friend or friends, Bastille Squarein, Bastille OperaWhen you enter Rue de Lyon, which continues to the right of , after walking about 100-200 meters, you will come across the arched, brick building on the left, the photo of which you see above.
When you climb up the stairs of this building, this beautiful walking path, La Promenade Plantée – La Coulée Verte, awaits you. You will see on the wall that actually forms the arched sections of this long building on the lower floor.Le Viaduc des Arts” article has nothing to do with our topic today; Because that is the subject of a completely different article. For today, we went up from where we saw this article and went to Promenade Plantée (promonad plante or pgonomad plante) we start our trip by reaching…
This place used to be Bastille Operalocated in the place of Bastille Train StationIt is a recreation area that was part of the railway that reaches Paris and was brought into the lives of Parisians as a very special green area, which was created in 1969 when the station was demolished and the railway was canceled. Trains going in this direction are replaced by RER-AIt was handed over to , and Parisians had a brand new green area. The same goes for the old railway that once surrounded Paris, which has now been converted into walking trails. The Little Belt Also valid for.
When you climb the stairs and reach the viaduct, a green latticed door welcomes you. As you pass here and slowly progress, you may first think that this is a small parking area, but let me tell you from the beginning that this road is exactly We are on a 4,5 kilometer walking track!
I think there is such a track in New York, which was created by canceling an old subway line, but even though I went to New York three times, I did not have the chance to see this walking path. I hope I can go see it next time.
La Promenade Plantée is also referred to as La Coulé Verte in some sources. A certain point continues on the viaduct. This spot is a very special walking path that is greened as much as possible. You feel yourself in a very special atmosphere as you walk next to the buildings among the typical architecture of Paris.
There is a special pleasure in watching some classical and some contemporary buildings from above. People walking, sunbathing on benches, jogging, kissing and sniffing, children's laughter all give you the good news that you are in the full circle of life. Moreover, while a completely different life continues down the viaduct, to the right and left, you enjoy being in a very special place.
Sometimes the road narrows, sometimes it widens, sometimes you think it's just finished, you pass through the narrow passage between two buildings and you see that a tiny pool, a small balcony, a small terrace add a completely different view to the environment. Sometime Gare de LyonYou are passing near . There is even a colorful street at the bottom of the road that you should see. Rue Crémieux There is also.
As you progress a little further, just when you say "I'm tired", you find yourself in a large, green park. Jardin du ReuillyYou find it in . This is the part where you pass over a green area with a large bridge. My advice to you is to enter the park on the right before crossing the bridge, go down the stairs and reach the lawn. It is equally enjoyable to watch people having a quiet picnic, sunbathing, reading a book or young people and children playing games here. Already ten or fifteen minutes ago BastilleYou can't believe how you suddenly found yourself here in the vibrant world of .
If, after taking a breather in the park, you continue moving in the same direction without changing your walking route, you may think for a moment that the trail is over. For a short while, the walking path intersects with the street and passes through a small park. At this point, on the left is one of the most decent Turkish restaurants in Paris. The Janissary there is. If you wish, you can also take a lunch break there.
If you continue your walk, you will soon enter a tunnel-like passage. This place becomes a completely different world. As soon as the tunnel ends, the amount of greenery begins to increase and you feel like you are in a tiny grove. However, you are always in the greened atmosphere of a route that was once a railway. Life and conditions have changed, but the environment has always been improved for people to live better. Experiencing this feeling as much as what you see makes you feel good.
Personally, after passing two tunnels along the way, I give up at the third tunnel :) As far as I can see from the map, this is the road Bois de Vincennes – Vincennes ForestIt continues until , but I don't have the strength to walk any further. Maybe you can explore the next part of the road and tell me what you see. From this point T3a tram You reach the line. If you wish, you can direct your direction NationYou can turn it to and explore other parts of Paris.
In my opinion, La Promenade Plantée is definitely one of the interesting places to see in Paris. Especially Bastille I highly recommend between and Parc du Reuilly. After that, it's up to you. I believe that this is a walking track that will surprise the person or people you come to Paris with and will make you have a pleasant day.
