La Petite Ceinture

Musée Réattu, Arles, France

Almost a year ago, I visited a delightful park in Paris called La Petite Ceinture (the little belt), created on the remains of a disused little railroad circuit. Imagine my surprise to see this photo story at the Musée Réattu taken back when the railroad still ran.

We also walked the length of La Petite Ceinture, a disused ancient railway line that has been transformed into a park. I had been hoping that it would be a little like the High Line in NY, affording me elevated views of the surrounding area but it was really the opposite, sunken and surrounded by tall trees, dark and lovely.
