Crossing Paris from west to east, from the Bois de Boulogne to the Bois de Vincennes, is a symbolic route connecting the capital's two major green lungs. The landscape presents a striking contrast between urban density and the preserved nature of the parks, emphasized by crossing the Seine and traversing the grand Haussmannian boulevards. The history of this route reflects the urban development of Paris, from former royal hunting grounds transformed into public gardens to the major public works of the 19th century. The two woods, remnants of forests, shelter a diverse flora typical of the plains of the Île-de-France region (oaks, horse chestnuts), while the fauna is that of the dense urban ecosystem, including squirrels and a rich birdlife on the lakes. This route offers a unique perspective on the evolution of the capital, blending historical monuments and recreational spaces.
