Sundials and astronomical curiosities in Paris
A long urban trail on the theme of sundials and sites related to astronomy scattered throughout Paris: the Paris meridian, observatories, gnomons, etc. Best done on a sunny day so you can read the time along the way! The sundials are often high up, sometimes hidden by trees that have grown... you may have to search hard to find them.
The Bestiary of the Louvre, the Tuileries and the Orsay

The Grange du Breuil plain
Short hike across the Grange du Breuil plain and the Bois des Templiers woods.
The banks of the Marne and the Haute-Ile Departmental Park

A three-hour circular in the commune of Neuilly-Plaisance, starting from the RER station and ending at the Plateau d'Avron and its park, via the green corridor. The return journey is more urban, through quiet streets, with a detour along the banks of the Marne.
The towers of Beaugrenelle and the squares and gardens of the 15th arrondissement
A walk through Paris's 15th arrondissement, starting at the Beaugrenelle slab, at the foot of the tall towers of the Front de Seine.
