Promenade Signoret Montand

The Promenade Signoret Montand stretches as a long, elevated wooden walkway above the Rue de Belleville. It serves as a connector between the Parc de la Villette and the dense residential blocks of the nineteenth arrondissement. This path carries the names of actors Simone Signoret and Yves Montand, who lived nearby in a house on Rue de Belleville. The couple campaigned against the local industrial decline during the nineteen seventies, and this walkway honors their presence in the neighborhood.
