Abandoned Parisian railway now an oasis of beauty

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.
