Parc des Buttes-Chaumont1
🌳
4.6 (27,348)Free

Spread across steep, landscaped terrain in the 19th arrondissement, this park centers on a lake overlooked by a suspended bridge and the Temple de la Sybille, perched on a rocky island. Paths wind past grottoes, cascades and grassy slopes, with entrances on Rue Botzaris, Rue Manin, Rue de Crimée and Avenue Simon-Bolivar.

It is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility, though some zones, including the island, temple and cascades, are currently closed due to unstable ground.

✨ Reasons to go

  • 1The park was built in the 1860s on former gypsum quarries and a gallows site, transformed under Haussmann's renovation of Paris.
  • 2The Temple de la Sybille, perched on a rocky island, is a small-scale reproduction of the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli.
  • 3A suspended footbridge crosses to the island, offering views over an artificial lake and man-made grottoes with a waterfall.

💡 Good to know

  • 1The park is hilly with cliffs and winding paths, so wear comfortable shoes
  • 2note that access to the island temple and waterfalls is currently closed due to ground instability.

Butte Bergeyre2
🚶
4.4 (494)Free

Butte Bergeyre sits on a small hill just above Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, a quiet cluster of streets that stayed largely undeveloped until the early 20th century and now includes a small community vineyard. Reviewers consistently describe it as a genuine hidden gem, with a surprising, unobstructed view toward the Eiffel Tower from one of its streets.

✨ Reasons to go

  • 1The hillside neighborhood remained largely undeveloped until the early 20th century, giving it a distinct village feel unlike surrounding Paris.
  • 2Rue Georges Lardennois offers an unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower, best seen in late afternoon light.
  • 3The area maintains a small community vineyard tucked into its quiet streets.

💡 Good to know
