The old Vincennes railway line that once connected the Gare de la Bastille to Varenne-Saint-Maur has been brilliantly repurposed. In 1988 it became the Coulée Verte Renée Dumont (formerly the Promenade Plantée), an elevated linear park, to the delight of the inhabitants of the 12th arrondissement and the walkers who enjoy its remarkable views.

Celebrate Valentine's Day as it should be with your special one by spending the festival of love cruising on the Seine or enjoying a superb live performance at the Opera Bastille. The choice is yours; a sublime view of the illuminated monuments along the Seine from a cruise boat, or a show in the striking surroundings of the Opera Bastille. Or why not do both? You can get where you need to be quickly and easily from the Hotel Pavillon Bastille.
