Abandoned Parisian railway now an oasis of beauty [View all]

Stunning pictures have emerged of an abandoned railway line in the centre of Paris, which has been not been used for almost 80 years.
A blog called Messy Messy Chic has taken a tour of the tracks of the Petite Ceinture (which translates to 'Little Belt') which are still accessible to the public.
The photos show the railway has become a habitat for wild plants and flowers, and it provides an oasis of calm for many of the city's natives.
