Reasons to go

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

📖

Full description

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.

Reviews

It was a very beautiful park. I visited on a sunny day, the park was huge and had amazing views. Just grab something to eat and we could sit and watch the sceneries all day. It just calms your mind and soul. I had a very good day. They also have a pizza store inside but I didn’t visit them. It’s a very good park…
