"Originally known as the Promenade Plantée, the Coulée Verte René-Dumont is an elevated park built atop a revitalized railway structure. Opened in the late 1980s, the lush garden path stretches for three miles, with landscapes ranging from modern and manicured to wild and natural. This greenway, which for many will recall New York City's High Line, provides an unusual panoramic view over the 12th arrondissement—and since this crosses through less-touristy neighborhoods, you'll get a sense of the real quotidian Paris." - Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Julia Eskins

Very beautiful! Maybe about 1.5 miles long from start to finish? I visited around 3pm and it wasn't crowded at all. It's prly in my top 3 fave "parks" out of all the other ones I've been to in Paris (about 10 in total). Highly recommended on a sunny day esp

Lovely walk that inspired the NYC high line. Lots of golden foliage and tons of views on old Paris building facades. A few joggers and lots of walkers. Nice way to spend an hour relaxing always from the bustle of the city.

One of the best park experiences in this city. Well cared for, quiet, narrow passage for walking and picnics, much of it above shops and restaurants (west end). Benches and views along the way, joins the more rustic Petite Ceinture belt walkway on the east end.

It reminds me of the high line in New York Almost 1.2 km walk enjoyable between green lush leaves. Hidden Gems away from tourists mainly frequented by locals. So enjoyable with an overdose of oxygen Beware of slippery areas due to rainfall

I walked the entirety of coulee verte from Vincennes to Bastille. It was a really lovely walk, in some places it felt a little more run down than most but it's generally a really well maintained route with both art and nature. A nice escape from bustling streets. When I reached the end, there were only stairs to get down to street level so I had to walk back about 10-15 mins to the last elevator I passed to get down. They should find a way to add an elevator at the end, by the stairs. For kids, there was also a good playground around half way along.

Welcome oasis when we had a couple of hours to kill at the Gare de Lyon. Shaded walk, nicely busy, water fountains even a lift or two to avoid the stairs

Take a walk not far from Gare de Lyon, on an elevated old train track converted into a green path. Bring a snack and have a break on one of the benches along the way.

I love this elevated linear park that is a little under 5 km and what a treat for the visitors & for the residents living along this park. I lucked out & got to experience it while there was an art exhibit spread along the walk. It is about a half hour leisurely walk. The walk is totally paved in concrete, so, no special shoes needed. Be sure to bring water & be warned, there are no toilets along the route. Highly, highly recommended.

I'm so glad I found this gem! This old train path has been converted into a walking path with beautiful gardens all the way down. It's like a long, narrow park. Locals use it for runs or dog walks. We used it to catch Mr. Mime (Pokémon) and to walk off the morning pastries. We never encountered other tourists, only locals, and it's not crowded at all. The views it gives you of the area are very cool. It's not necessarily worth going way out of your way to see, but if you're in the area, I definitely recommend it.

A Wonderful Stroll This is probably not the easiest park to find in Paris, but it is one of the nicest. It is essentially a narrow strip of green (mostly) that runs for a little more than a mile. There are many beautiful places to stop along the way, and there are shops and cafes below that great places to take a break. Note: we started our adventure at Square Charles Péguy.
