It's a fact that Paris is increasingly becoming an environmentally-friendly capital. The city has introduced numerous initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint, improve air quality and adapt to climate change. These include the expansion of bicycle lanes throughout the capital, and the reduction of car use in the city center.
The City of Paris is also stepping up the greening of its urban spaces, creating urban forests and cool islands to combat the effects of the increasing number of heatwaves. Plans to install green roofs and green walls in densely built-up areas also help to cool the city and enhance biodiversity.
If you identify with these ecological values, you're probably concerned about your own impact when you travel. In Paris, the eco-tourism trend is gaining momentum, and more and more eco-friendly venues and innovative concepts are springing up to help you discover the capital in an environmentally-friendly way.
Here are the capital's eco-responsible places and addresses!
