Coulée verte René-Dumont, Urban park and elevated footpath in 12th arrondissement, France.
The Coulée verte René-Dumont extends 4.7 kilometers through Paris, featuring gardens, tunnels, and bridges along a former railway line at various elevations.
The path occupies the tracks of the Vincennes railway line, which connected Bastille station to Verneuil-l'Étang until its closure in December 1969.
The Viaduc des Arts section houses numerous artisan workshops and galleries in renovated archways beneath the elevated garden path.
Visitors can access the park through multiple entry points with stairs and elevators, while the eastern section permits both pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
This elevated garden path, completed in 1993, became the first railway conversion to green space worldwide, preceding similar projects like New York's High Line.
