Promenade Jane-et-Paulette-Nardal

The Promenade Jane-et-Paulette-Nardal extends 520 meters between Didot Street and Raymond-Losserand Street, featuring four thematic gardens across 3,450 square meters.

The promenade, inaugurated in August 2019, stands on the former railway track of Petite Ceinture and commemorates the first Black women who studied at Sorbonne University.

The space includes educational installations narrating neighborhood history from 1900 to 2019, with information panels in French and Braille about the Nardal sisters' literary contributions.

Visitors can access multiple play areas for children, reclining benches, a shared garden for flowers and vegetables, and a book exchange section along the pathway.

The western entrance features a play area shaped like a bat, recognizing the Pipistrelle bats that inhabit the former railway tracks beneath the promenade.
