La Coulée Verte in Paris 2025
The green oasis in the middle of the city provides a great escape from a hot summer day
Best time: June–August
The promenade, known as Coulée verte René-Dumont, is a green elevated path, a nice secluded place to spend some time, especially when you are looking for solitude and romance. The walkway is a transformed abandoned railway line right in the middle of Paris. Trees and shrubs set along the way offer a perfect escape from the city's noise and provide a nice shelter in the summer heat. You may also discover a "hidden" garden on your way—it's called Jardin De Reuilly.
