Two weeks ago, I, your trusty online editor, went on vacation to France, and I thought I would put together a few slide shows of some of the things I saw that might be of interest to our GARDEN DESIGN readers.
One of the landmarks that I definitely wanted to see was the Promenade plantée or as it is also known, the Coulée verte, which transformed an old railroad track into an elevated garden. Here in New York, we have something similar, the High Line, and I wanted to see how the Parisian version compared.
[Click here to see our photos of the second phase of the High Line, which opened this year.]
The entrance is a bit nondescript, hidden away near the Bastille Metro stop.
