Promenade Plantée (Coulée verte René-Dumont)

This unique "elevated" green walkway is situated on the tracks 

that took trains from Bastille to Verenne-Saint-Maur. 

Beneath the arches of this viaduct are 64 arcade

 of artists' ateliers, galleries, workshops, and more.  

You can walk the "promenade greenway" in one direction

 and then walk back along the glass fronts of the Viaduc des Arts.

ou Coulée Verte

This elevated green walkway was created from an obsolete railway structure 

and runs for almost three miles above the Viaduct des Arts.  

It provides a scenic walk above the busy sidewalks.

Seen in the background are "chimney tracks" 

and I will tell you more about these later.
