This is a great example for American cities to think about adding/adapting somehow. Paris is not on my bucket list but it is wonderful.

A little history – it was Jean Preece-Doswell who visited the Promenade and took lots of pictures that were shown at the community meeting that was voting (CB4 in Manhattan) on whether it would support the idea of the High Line. Our group, Friends of Pier 84, was 100% for it (yes, I also spoke that night in praise of the elevated garden) and it is just a beautiful place.

Thanks for this wonderful post, Robin. Looking forward to visiting on my next trip to Paris. Of course, it was the bike lanes in the top photo that caught my eye!

Let’s see some photos of The Bridge of Flowers. I can’t imagine it is more beautiful than the Promenade Plantée. Great ideas, both of them, in any case.

John, I am so thrilled the post led you to experience the Promenade Plantée! Had I known you were in Paris, I would have told you about some of the little hidden gardens I have visited in the past: http://ow.ly/6Eaaa
