Parc des Buttes-Chaumont

It was created in 1867, and its inauguration coincided with the Universal Exposition.

Its curves and slopes are wonderful paths to explore for those who enjoy walking. Its slope and elevation changeis truly surprising. This unevenness of the terrain is due to the fact that it was built over a former quarry used for extracting gypsum and millstones, which were used in the construction of buildings.

What to See in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont

Among its undulating hills and constant ups and downs, we can reach vantage points that offer a lovely view of Paris, especially of the artists' neighborhood, Montmartre.

And for those looking to rest and relax, we find 12 hectares of lawn whose pleasant greenery invites us to lie down on it.
