Sobre este Tip
Find the small staircase at the corner of rue de Lyon and avenue Daumesnil, a few minutes south of Opéra Bastille, and climb to a garden walk on the old railway viaduct. The raised stretch is for pedestrians only, while the lower eastern part also admits cyclists as it runs through tunnels toward the Bois de Vincennes. Go early in the day, stop in the Jardin de Reuilly halfway and keep going to the end if your legs allow.
