Reports on “Discover Paris” walks

November 13, 2024 discovery walk – From Denfert Rochereau to Porte d’Auteuil

Organized by Monique – 12 km

A small, friendly team responded to the offer of this discovery walk in Paris.

We began by walking along the central avenue René Coty, then crossed Parc Montsouris after stopping to admire the pretty houses on rue Georges Braque.

We then crossed the Cité Universitaire, which boasts an exceptional architectural, artistic and landscaped heritage. Among other things, we admired the beautiful building of the Deutsch de la Meurthe Foundation. Finally, we returned to the “petite ceinture”: a haven of peace in Paris.

SFASJC member Patrice J., who lives in the neighborhood, joined us at Parc Georges Brassens, sharing many anecdotes about his neighborhood and taking us to La Ruche, an artists’ housing estate on rue de Dantzig. Finally, we returned to the petite ceinture: a haven of peace in Paris.

Clement weather allowed us to fully appreciate this day in nature while still in Paris.

Walk interrupted at 4:30 p.m., when the gardens are closed!
