In this vlog we explore the stunning transformation of a formerly abandoned railway in central Paris. Just behind the Bastille metro station, you find the entrance to an elevated parkway called the Promenade Plantée. From 1854 to 1969 this was an operating railway and the track ran fifteen kilometres through Paris. It was left abandoned for many years until, in 1993, it became the hidden treasure it remains today. Parisians were not happy about this development at first as they thought it was a waste of money, however, over time it has become a beloved spot. If you’ve been to the High Line in New York City this has a very similar feeling but was the first of its kind anywhere in the world. It’s located ten metres above street level and there are forty-five beautiful archways from the old viaduct. They’re now filled with shops and restaurants and you have no idea standing on the street that this lush garden exists on top. When we first arrived in Paris I asked on Instagram for suggestions of what I should do and see in Paris. You all sent me some fantastic ideas and Birgit in Iceland said the Promenade Plantée (also known as the Coulée Verte) was worthwhile. I’m so glad she gave me the tip because I’d never heard of it before and have never heard anyone else mention it. It’s a quiet, peaceful place where people are just relaxing, sleeping, reading, playing word puzzles, walking their dogs, or enjoying a picnic. We loved exploring this hidden treasure of 'secret Paris' and hope you enjoyed the vlog!
