The guiding principle for planting trees in Paris has historically been an aesthetic one: Find trees that are beautiful and have large canopies, the better to line the city's picturesque streets and provide ample shade to pedestrians.
This tradition, passed down since the 19th century from Baron Haussmann, has dotted the capital with plane, chestnut, linden and Japanese pagoda trees, including on the Champs-Elysées, in front of the Invalides and along the Seine.
