Bois de Charonne

The Bois de Charonne sits upon what was once a bustling freight railway station. This site served as a vital link in the Petite Ceinture, a circular railway line that ringed Paris for decades. The park now occupies the former path of these tracks, transforming industrial wasteland into a green corridor for the city. You can still see the original railway rails left on the ground, serving as a permanent memorial to the industrial history of this path.
