Paris’s Hidden Railway Park
The Petite Ceinture in Paris is a hidden gem that offers visitors a unique, green escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. This former railway line, now a lush path surrounded by diverse flora and fauna, stretches around the city within the boulevards des Maréchaux. Opened to walkers in various sections since 2007, it is home to more than 200 plant species and 70 animal species. Former stations along the route have been repurposed into cultural venues, bars, and restaurants. Visitors can access the Petite Ceinture from multiple points across different arrondissements, with sections suitable for people with reduced mobility. The walk provides a peaceful journey through Paris’ lesser-known, rural past, offering spectacular views and a quiet respite, all while exploring a historic and ecological treasure. Don't miss out on this enchanting, off-the-beaten-path experience!
