Roger referred to this as Paris' hanging garden. It is actually a wall of hollow bricks which are offset from one another, then filled with soil and planted to create a lovely green wall. This is in Jardin de Reuilly, where the promenade drops down from the viaduct and enters a sunken corridor for a mile or so. The garden is named for an ancient castle which used to be nearby, which was the residence of some French kings.
