The Petite Ceinture (literally “little belt”) is a former railway line that once circled Paris but was abandoned in the 1930s. Today, parts of it have been reopened as wild green paths, where nature has reclaimed the old tracks.
Locals come here to escape the urban chaos without leaving the city. You can walk through tunnels covered in ivy, spot urban wildlife, or simply enjoy the atmosphere of this forgotten space. Bring a picnic, sit on the grass, and you’ll feel like you’ve discovered a hidden park that tourists rarely visit. Each section has its own character, from quiet corners near the 15th arrondissement to more lively stretches with community gardens.
