Coulée Verte - The Green Escape of Paris!

The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in English

Description

Come explore one of Paris’s best hidden gems - the Coulée Verte! A beautiful linear park built above the city streets of the 12th Arrondissement - the Coulée Verte will take you out of the city to escape among the trees and gardens, while giving a unique perspective on the incredible architecture of Paris. 


Your experienced guide will teach you about the history of the park, as well as point out interesting features of the city landscape surrounding us! You will also learn about some of the most fascinating periods in Parisian history, and come away with a greater understanding of how Paris became the beautiful city it is today. 

A refreshing compliment to other major sites you may be visiting while seeing the French capital. Get away from the crowds and see a slice of the city that most tourists don’t know about! Also a perfect shady tour to beat the heat when temperatures rise in Paris during the summer months!

Come for a stroll on the Coulée Verte and see Paris from a whole new angle - and maybe find your new favourite park along the way!
