Paris and the Île-de-France region boast a number of green corridors: the one linking Paris to Massy on the Vallons de la Bièvre promenade (south of the capital), the one offering a bucolic stroll in the 12th arrondissement... There's also a new itinerary, the Végétale, which starts in Créteil, in the Val-de-Marne département.
Formerly known as the Tégéval, La Végétale is now dedicated to pedestrians, cyclists and people with reduced mobility. Originally inaugurated in the 1990s, the route passes through eight Paris-area communes, including Créteil, Valenton, Limeil-Brévannes, Yerres, Villecresnes, Marolles-en-Brie and Santeny, ending in the commune of Mandres-les-Roses. At present, the itinerary issome 20 kilometers long: eventually, the project will link the Parc du Val-de-Marne in Créteil to the Forêt Notre-Dame in Santeny.
Cable C1: Île-de-France's first aerial tramway to open in late 2025, what's the status of the project?
Câble 1, Île-de-France's very first aerial tramway, will soon be running in Val-de-Marne. This urban cable car will serve five stations, flying over the towns of Créteil, Limeil-Brévannes, Valenton and Villeneuve-Saint-Georges. Commissioning is scheduled for the end of 2025, while the famous dry run is scheduled for autumn. We tell you more about the progress of this project. [Read more]
In a few years' time, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the very first cable car in the Paris region. What's more, as you stroll along La Végétale, you won't be far from some of Val-de-Marne's must-see landmarks: the Château de Grosbois and its racecourse, for example, or the Château de Santeny! A great walk to be enjoyed in sections or in its entirety, weather permitting!
