Follow your French-speaking guide on a walk through Chelsea, the former manufacturing district nestled along the Hudson River. This tour blends history, architecture, and modern urban design, showing you how New York has reinvented its public spaces to bring nature back into the city — where you’d least expect it!
The visit starts at Pier 57, an abandoned pier beautifully transformed in 2023 into a dynamic space with indoor and outdoor areas, a rooftop park with panoramic views, a food market, and even classrooms dedicated to local wildlife and waterways.
Next, you’ll discover Little Island — a beautiful floating park built on the river. Its unique design, inspired by a leaf drifting on the water, never fails to impress visitors.
The tour continues at Gansevoort Peninsula, home to NYC’s first public beach, fitness zones, and peaceful green spaces. Then it’s time to walk along the High Line, the former elevated railway turned into a lush urban park. Much like Paris’s “Coulée Verte,” this green walkway stretches over two kilometers and offers incredible views, seating areas, art installations, and a peaceful break from the city’s hustle and bustle.
You’ll end the experience at Hudson Yards, one of the city’s newest and most spectacular neighborhoods, where you’ll find cutting-edge skyscrapers, the cultural hub The Shed, and the bold stair-shaped structure The Vessel.
