If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the big city, then take a walk along the Green Alley (Coulee Verte) - this is an unusual, linear park in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, located on the site of a former railway at a height of 7 meters above the busy Parisian streets and a length of 4.5 km. The alley is easy to find: from Place de la Bastille, go southeast past the opera house (the Bastille monument will be behind you, and the Bastille opera will be on your left). You walk down the street and soon you will see a staircase on the left leading up to the aqueduct and the inscription "La coulee verte".
This is a real piece of paradise, hovering above the noise of the streets. You can wander leisurely along the path in the garden or go jogging there, like many locals. The history of its creation is interesting: the alley runs along the Parisian section of the Vincennes railway, which since 1859 connected the Bastille station with Verneuil-Etang, passing through Vincennes. The road ceased to function in 1969. The zone began to be equipped from the 80s. 20th century. In 1984
the Bastille station was demolished to make room for the construction of the Bastille opera. The promenade was created in 1988 by landscape designer Jacques Vergly and architect Philippe Mathieu. Arts viaduct arcades redesigned in 1989
Currently, the alley bears the name of the French agronomist René Dumont. This inspiring green corridor runs through trees, rose bushes and plants, ending at the Vincennes Forest.
