About
18/11/26 at 2:30 PM Around the Poterne des Peupliers, the rails have given way to vegetation
This neighborhood near the Poterne des Peupliers, marked by a significant railway past, has undergone transformations since the beginning of the 20th century, closely linked to the presence of the Bièvre river and the Thiers Fortifications. Since the creation of the Cité Florale and the construction of working-class houses in the 1920s, the neighborhood has constantly metamorphosed: development of an eco-district with the Zac de Rungis, redevelopment of the Petite Ceinture into a promenade and urban agriculture space, greening of public spaces, etc.
Meeting point: 14, Place de Rungis*
Our take on this event
Trade the city bustle for a quiet stroll through this pocket of the 13th arrondissement, where reclaimed rail lines now bloom into an urban wilderness. You will love discovering how old industrial ghosts have evolved into lush green corridors and charming, hidden neighborhoods.
