Never seen that before in a blog post.Yes, quirky place to explore plus very interesting with all the history which is behind! Done Unfortunately, the access to the rail tracks in this section is opened only in few occasions, usually related to Nature festivals or events.The fence along rue André Danjon can be opened or climbed on some points.Inside Parc des Buttes Chaumont, right after the bridge which crosses the rails (on the left side), there is a little path going downhill. dominique1594 .

I wish more places would have the forethought to smartly repurpose open land like that.Well, there is still to much work to do at la Petite Ceinture!

To accommodate this change, the Ceinture Syndicate modified their ticketing, signage and colour-coding to more easily differentiate trains and their destinations.The Petite Ceinture had become a popular mode of transport towards the end of the 19th century. 2016-02 Ligne de Petite Ceinture 13.jpg 6,000 × 4,000; 13.22 MB

It’s truly amazing especially given the history there.

I will definitely have to add this walk onto our itinerary the next time we are in Paris!Oh that REcyclerie’s brunch was reaaaaaaaaaaally good. The Syndicate's shifting its freight transport to the Grande Ceinture made remedying this problem possible, and from 1886, with service reduced to one rail in many places, City engineers and Ceinture Syndicate workers built bridges, dug trenches, re-landscaped, and rebuilt stations, all in time for the 1889 universal exposition.The Ouest's Ceinture Rive Gauche northwards antenna would serve the Exposition once again, but this time as the head of their 'ligne des Moulineaux' railway line that, finally built between 1886 and 1889, crossed the Ceinture on its way into Paris towards its Champ de Mars terminus.

I love it! Hopefully more kilometres will be opened to the public in the near future Definitely sounds like an off the beaten path way of exploring the area!

We leave the world of abandoned train stations and railroads at Quirky Parisian explorers with a preference for the less known sights, we are continuously looking for new ideas and tips to bring you the best of the City of Light.Paris is so romanesque and it has so much to offer!

Also for the 1889 exposition, the Ceinture eliminated the train-change required between Courcelles-Ceinture and Courcelles-Levallois: from then, Ceinture trains could travel a full circle around Paris, and Ceinture trains no longer went to the Gare Saint-Lazare, serviced through a transfer to or from a Paris-Auteuil train at Courcelles-Levallois.

Visiting some of the sections of La Petite Ceinture de Paris will be a priority for us when we visit Paris.Glad that you liked it!
