General Info

Buttes Chaumont is a park located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. It is one of the largest of the Parisian public parks, and is popular with locals as well as tourists who like to relax in the clearings, or wander down the nearly three miles of paths. The park is located in northeastern Paris, on the site of a now defunct quarry, and was commissioned by Napoleon himself in the late 1860s.
Due to its size, this park has many features, which cannot be accommodated, in Paris’ smaller spaces, including both English and Chinese gardens, a lake and waterfall with neighboring grotto, and beautiful bridges. The most famous feature of the Parc des Buttes Chaumont is the Belvedere of Sybil, which sits on the top of a rocky promontory in the very center of the park. It is a monument in the Corinthian style, which reminds strongly the Temple of Sybil located in the small town of Tivoli, Italy. The belvedere itself can be accessed by both a suspension bridge and a stone bridge.
The Parc des Buttes Chaumont is also known for its collection of exotic foreign trees, which include Byzantine Hazelnut, Himalayan Cedar, and Ginko Biloba, just to name a few.
There are also restaurants, cafes, and even two theaters located within the park.
