Place de la Catalogne is located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, not far from the Montparnasse train station. From here, you can take the Coulée verte du Sud Parisien, which allows you to cycle from Paris to Massy (91). Place de la Catalogne used to be more concrete than trees: now it's home to an urban forest, with 470 specially planted trees.
Turning concrete into an urban clearing: this is the project of the city of Paris, which has made way for over 4,000 m² of forest, home to species such as holm oaks, downy oaks, Montpellier maples... In short, a complete ecosystem. In short, a complete ecosystem: a forest comprises soil, vegetation and wildlife.
The objectives of this new green lung on Place de la Catalogne are to cool the area, absorb CO² and thus purify the ambient air, as well as to enable plant and animal species to thrive in the heart of Paris. So, if you're passing through, don't miss this traffic-free green space.
