“The Coulée verte René-Dumont or Promenade plantée René-Dumont (Planted walkway [of] René Dumont) is a 4.7 km (2.9 mi) elevated linear park built on top of obsolete railway infrastructure in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France. It was inaugurated in 1993. This Promenade plantée in Paris is an extensive green belt that follows the old Vincennes railway line. Beginning just east of the Opéra Bastille with the elevated Viaduc des Arts, it follows a 4.7-kilometre (2.9 mi) path eastward that ends at a spiral staircase leading to the boulevard Périphérique beltway.” (Coulée verte René-Dumont, Wikipedia)
