A Walk In The Park


 Promenade Plantee, Paris


Wishing for a Promenade Plantee or New York railway hanging garden in Malaysia someday. I mean, just look at these amazing pictures...



Promenade Plantee, Paris

The Promenade Plantee is an elevated garden that has been constructed on an old abandoned railway viaduct that connected Paris to Bastille. I think this is really cool and I should pencil in a walk thru the gardens on my Paris trip.

They also have another one in New York, also built on an abandoned railway line.



High-Line Railway Garden, New York

More pics of the romantic Promenade Plantee here, while you can see the more modern-designed High Line gardens here.
