Green walk in Paris
 We have organized a short walk in Paris, going from the majestic "Place des Vosges" to the very unique library "Bibliothèque Nationale de France". Off the beaten tracks, this itinerary is an unusual way of discovering Paris; you will definitively take an architectural jump in Paris’ greenbelt!
The itinerary we will use follows the "Coulée Verte" of the East side of Paris. On the way to the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand, we will go through Bercy gardens and cross a bridge that will surprise you by its originality.
 Departure Place des Vosges
Place des Vosges is the oldest planned square of Paris right after Place Dauphine. Originally named "Place Royale" (Royal Square), its construction on the "Hotel des Tournelles" site dates back to 1605 under Henry IV. It was finally inaugurated in 1612 to celebrate Louis XIII’s engagement with Anne of Austria.
Surrounding the square, you will notice several "Hôtels Particuliers" (pavilions) with magnificent architecture. In the middle of the square, the trees, the grass and the statues all are a witness of the History of the square.
Practical information - From the Place des Vosges to the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand, this 5 km walk will last 2 hours and presents no difficulties.
