Summary

La Petite Ceinture de Paris est en cours de réaménagement avec l’ouverture de 4 km de sentiers d’ici fin 2026, favorisant la biodiversité. Un projet majeur, la forêt urbaine de Charonne, sera inauguré en 2024, ajoutant 3,5 hectares d’espaces verts. D’autres promenades sont en préparation, comme la Promenade Bercy-Charenton et la Promenade Ney. La Petite Ceinture, transformée en corridor écologique depuis 2006, abrite une variété d’habitats naturels et d’espèces animales. Les visiteurs sont invités à profiter de ces espaces tout en respectant la nature, avec une interdiction des chiens. Cette initiative valorise l’existence de la faune et flore locales tout en offrant des installations pour la promenade et le sport.
