Never heard of the Bois de Charonne in Paris? Not surprising, as it only came into existence in July 2024. But it will take years before it can really live up to its name and vie with the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes. The shrubs grow slowly, a signboard in the park tells us. Actually the Bois de Charonne incorporates the existing Jardin de la Gare de Charonne which has its principal entrance at Porte de Montreuil. The other end of the "woods" is at Porte de Vincennes.
