Parks & Nature
The old railways around Paris are mostly not accessible. But this little section between the Park Georges Brassens and Metro Station Balard is open for public. The old rails are still there but it's transformed into a high line kind of walk way. Full of urban art and regional birds - I even saw a lizard once
