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.

Tours and detours in the Champs-Elysées and Tuileries gardens
This walk allows you to stroll through the gardens that have been laid out in the heart of Paris and enjoy a relative calm that is hard to imagine so close to busy thoroughfares.

The Petite Ceinture in the 16th arrondissement and the Serres d'Auteuil
An eclectic journey through Paris's 16th arrondissement. After an initially urban start, the route takes you along the Sentier Nature trail, on the embankment of the former Petite Ceinture railway line. The walk ends with a stroll through the Square des Poètes and a visit to the Serres d'Auteuil, which will delight amateur botanists.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Montagne Sainte-Geneviève
A journey into the medieval and even Gallo-Roman past of Paris, following in the footsteps of Sainte-Geneviève, whose namesake hill we climb, whose ancient sarcophagus can be seen in the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, and whose statue can be seen in the Jardin du Luxembourg and on the Pont de la Tournelle. Among other sights, the itinerary follows a section of the old city wall built by Philippe Auguste and crosses the Arènes de Lutèce.
The wildlife of Grenelle and Vaugirard
This urban route crosses the 15th arrondissement of Paris from west to east and then from north to south, discovering numerous animal representations. The sculptures in Georges Brassens Park recall the past of the Vaugirard slaughterhouses.
The wildlife of Ranelagh and La Muette
This urban route crosses the 16th arrondissement of Paris, from south to north and then from west to east, to discover animal representations and a certain architectural diversity specific to this arrondissement.
A visit to Grenelle Cemetery
A short stroll to reach and visit one of the smallest cemeteries in Paris, set in unspoilt surroundings. A few notable figures are buried in this cemetery, which also features some unusual monuments.
From Port de Javel to Pont de Saint-Cloud
From the Port de Javel, the banks of the Seine are not particularly suitable for a stroll... We therefore leave the river to cross three large parks: André Citroën, Suzanne Lenglen and Île Saint-Germain. We then rejoin the towpath and its many moored barges. The walk ends with a brief detour into Saint-Cloud Park before taking the bridge of the same name to cross the Seine.
