Viaduc des Arts/Promenade Plantée
Viaduc des Arts/Promenade Plantée Review
This redbrick viaduct was once a train line to the Bastille. Today, the arcades beneath the elevated tracks have been transformed into stylish boutiques—many focused on decor and design—and artisans' workshops. Above, the Promenade Plantée, a 2.8-mi walkway lined with flowers and trees, offers a bird's-eye view along Avenue Daumesnil in the heart of the 12e arrondissement. It served as a setting for the 2004 film Before Sunset starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. The promenade ends at the Jardin de Reuilly. From here, you can continue your walk to the Bois de Vincennes.
