Green Spaces

Coulée Verte René-Dumont
@hilaryinparis
The "Paris Highline". Great for walking or running and seeing the city from atop old railroad tracks. Note that this is technically a park, so it's only open during normal daytime hours.

Off the Beaten Path

Sites

Quick things to stop by and see or walk through.

Place du Tertre
@hilaryinparis
Just around the corner from the top of the Sacre Coeur is this "Painter's Square" or "Artist's Square". Take a walk around and look at their stunning works-in-progress. Note: they do NOT like when you take pictures of their work! Please be respectful of this.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hello et bonjour ! I'm (another) American in Paris. I've lived in France since 2016 and I loooove sharing my Paris & France recs in hopes I can help others love this city and country as much as I do. I'm quite confident I've seen more of France than most French people, so no matter what you're looking for, I've (probably) done it! ✅ What I'm a great fit for: Mature travelers, couples, solo travelers, and families who enjoy soaking in authentic experiences, great food and wine, off-the-beaten-track gems, classic sites, and sustainable travel. 🌱 What's sustainable travel about? Traveling in a way that is kind to the environment, respectful of local culture, & supportive of the local economy. My trip-planning services are always through a sustainable lens. ❌ What I'm not a great fit for: Travelers focused on bars/clubbing or high-end shopping. ➡️ Follow me on TikTok, Instagram & Pinterest @hilaryinparis for Paris & France recommendations, tips, personal stories, and more. 🌍 PS: I'm on Thatch because I genuinely love sharing France with folks. My day job is running Yugen Earthside, a booking platform for responsible package trips primarily catering to groups of mature American travelers. My company's website is linked below.
