Billed as the " most innovative green space in the city", this elevated, linear park was built on the old Vincennes Railway, in operation from 1859 to 1969. Three stories above ground level, it includes all the usual park amenities and an unusual vantage point from which to view the city. The High Line in NYC was modeled after this.
The Viaduc des Artes, located beneath the arches of the Promenade Plantee, is home to traditional artisans and contemporary designers.
We saw an entirely different perspective on the city from the top of one of the city's famous department stores - great views of the Eiffel Tower and the back of the opera house.
On the way to the rooftop, we admired the amazing art nouveau cupola and the overall design of the store, but didn't buy anything this first trip.
