Viaduc des Arts/ Promenade Plantée














On Thursday, I went to this cool strip of stores called the Viaduc des Arts. It's an actual viaduct that they converted into stores along Avenue Daumesnil, right near my house. It was only about a 15 minute walk.








BUT my favorite part is on top of the buildings it's actually a rooftop garden called the Promenade Plantée. If you've ever seen "Before Sunset" (PS I love that movie!), remember towards the beginning when Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are walking through the garden? That's the Promenade Plantée. It's 2.8 km and I forgot about the km to mile conversion so it's roughly (really roughly) a mile and a half and I got really confused when it ended so soon. But it was gorgeous, and like I said, it's SO close to my apartment so I'll definitely be going back soon.
