Charles Péguy Square

Highlight • Natural

Charles Péguy Square pays homage to the French writer (1873-1914). This green setting in the heart of inner Paris has obtained the ecological green spaces label awarded by ECOCERT.

It is home to a 200-meter nature trail that follows the route de la Petite Ceinture. You will be able to appreciate three plant layers: the meadow, the copse and the afforestation. Among the plant species present are grasses, nettles, elderberries, maples, wild cherry trees, hawthorns, among others.

Greenway

Highlight • Other

The Coulée verte winds its way as a green ribbon along an old railway line through the east of Paris. A large section runs at a height of 10 meters, another part of the route leads through tunnels. So to speak, the High Line of Paris. It was designed by landscape architects and gardeners and is approx. 5 kilometers long - from the Place de la Bastille to the Boulevard Périphérique on the outskirts of the city.

July Column (Colonne de Juillet)

Highlight • Monument

La Columna de Julio (in French: Colonne de Juillet) is a Parisian monument located in the Place de la Bastille at the junction of the 4th, 11th, and 12th arrondissements of Paris. It was erected to commemorate the Revolution of 1830.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not there to symbolize the storming of the Bastille, but to honor the Three Glorious Years, the second French Revolution. The inscription at the bottom of the column reads:

“To the glory of the French citizens who armed themselves and fought for the defense of public liberties on the memorable days of July 27, 28, and 29, 1830.”

Coulée verte René-Dumont

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A few kilometers long former railway viaduct that has now been transformed into a 'highline' green park / walking path of a few kilometers. Quiet above the city and nice and varied. Accessible in several places. Recommended!

René-Dumont Greenway

Highlight • Trail

This suspended path, which follows an old railway line, crosses flower gardens, footbridges and planted tunnels. All along the route, benches invite you to relax, and the viewpoints offer unique glimpses of the Parisian rooftops.

September 23, 2021,🇫🇷 Mon 3ième Tour de Flaneur à Paris: M Bastille - Coulée Verte Réne-Dumont - M Porte de Charenton

Today's route des Flaneurs is a classic for true city strollers: along the Coulée Verte René-Dumont.

At the end of the 1980s, work began on converting a disused railway line into a public green area 10 m above street level into an oasis.
The extraordinary thing about this project can be seen in the years that followed, after the French …

April 7, 2025,Paris: La Coulée Verte de René Daumesnil 😊👍

The starting point of this highly recommended hike is behind the Opéra Bastille, site of the demolished Gare de la Bastille railway station.

A staircase from Rue de Lyon leads to the "Coulée Verte de René Daumesnil" (formerly "Promenade Plantée"), a 4.5 km long disused railway line that has now been transformed into a planted promenade.
