Finally, I've never had to pay while I went to car to the gates, where there are offices, and also because 55 places twice. Something else to say, the park is a safe place, we must finally always be careful, for outdoor games. The spaces wood own, without thorns, are extended herborées invitations to ball games, the aisles to move in park, very well made. And there is always room, I can assure you. I repeat, it's so large and you if you do not the slightest sense of direction, it is advisable, if not let rocks, at least to note your successive directions. It is surprising (but so much the better) that Paris and banks lieusards do not go over the park at Saint-Cloud! Ah! a bit of history: the park of Saint-Cloud was traced on the area of the Palais de Saint-Cloud. Princely residence, royal and Imperial , built by the will of Sir, brother of King Louis XIV. Speciality French abandoned, burned, it was a day shaved, and he remains very much.

What an amazing linear park that takes rails to trails to a new level, the 606 dreams of aspiring…read moreto such heights. Leaving the apartment we hopped on our Velib bikes for a 15 min ride from the Latin Quarter to the head of the trail. We stopped off to grab some sandwiches from Boulangerie Versavel at the western end of the trail on Rue La Cueě. Climbed the stairs and began the wander. Up above the city the sounds of the street subside while your eyes are treated to lovely gardens. About half way down the walk you get to a park that you can detour over via the bridge, but why would you. We sat down to enjoy our sandwiches on the green grass with all the folks having a lazy day taking in the sights and played a little catch. Second half of the walk lowers you to ground level and then to a lower grade where the flowers give way lush forest and old train tunnels all the way to the end of the trail. We hopped on the Metro at Picpus to head back into the city, note it did not take us to the LQ, we rode to the Arc de Triomphe to continue on our day. Public toilets along the way so you do not need to exit the trail to take care of business.

So I am from New York - and as a New Yorker, I spent many countless hours walking down the High…read moreLine, which is this park repurposed from the old High Line railroad that did industrial/commercial deliveries from Penn Station down to around Canal Street - that railroad shut down back in the early '80s, and a decent chunk of it was torn down and built into expensive-as-heck luxury condos and whatnot...but that being said, a large chunk remained between Chelsea market and the massive LIRR trainyard next to Penn Station, and during the 2000s it was repurposed as a New York City park. Us New Yorkers, we are arrogant people - we live in the best city in the United States, we are cultured and we are streetwise...until we visit Paris, then we are browbeaten by a city with a 2000+ year history and all the cultural baggage that entails, and of course, they got their high line first, and it's the Promenade Plantee/Viaduc Des Arts. Just like the story of the high line, the promenade was anchored to a massive train station (the old, historically listed Gare De Bastille), now replaced by the Bastille National Opera house. Part of that line was repurposed into the Southeastern branch of the RER A line. The rest which sits in the city limits between the Opera and the Petit Ceinture (the little belt railway that surrounds Paris right at the border) were abandoned in place until it was repurposed into the Promenade Plantee. Just like the High Line, there are 3 recognizable segments of the Promenade. The first section is the viaduct that starts from approximately where Rue De Lyon splits from Avenue Daumesnil, to around the area of Gare De Lyon/Rue De Rambouillet - this is where most visitors take their pictures. At that point, section 2 begins - part of the original viaduct was torn down and replaced by apartment buildings, and you'll be on new, purpose built areas. There is a free public lavatory here, and you'll have a short walk until you see a large park, Jardin de reuilly. You will then be on a bridge crossing into Allee Vinvaldi, a ground-level promenade for a residential area. Just keep your bearings and continue moving forward - you should see a somewhat large overpass ahead of you that has rock structures built into the wall - thus begins part 3. Part 3 is actually the most fun of the promenade since it has some large well-lit tunnels punching below several important streets in the Pricpus area - you would eventually end up in an area under Station Bel-Air on Line 6, and after a short walk, reach a fork on the walk at Rue De Toul. You can either follow the main-line to Boulevard Peripherique, or take the right fork and head to a park near the junction to the Petit Ceinture - in this case, exit the park on Rottemburg (away from the T3 traimway) and you should reach Michel Bizot/Daumesnil for the Metro Line 8 stop. Overall, quite a fun walk, around 2-3 miles depending on your endurance, very light elevation changes, and lots to see.
