Paris is blessed with green space, from pocket parks to untamed woods. Few are as interesting, however, as this former quarry with its man-made overlay of fountains, ponds, and streams, stepping stones, waterfalls, and bridges, blending seamlessly into a lush landscape. Paths lead up, down, and around, which does not deter the neighbors one bit. Not as famous as the... More

Do you want to have some pictures different than all your friends and family that went to Paris? Go visit Buttes Chaumont. It takes a little effort. It is located on the odd little 7 bis metro line, but has its own station of the same name so it is easy to find. I saw this place on a post... More

Before traveling to Paris, I decided this trip would be full of free things to do. In my travel guides, I came across this park and just had to see it in person. I have to say, it was not only worth it, but the books barely did the park justice. With hills, bridges, caves, rivers and so much more,... More

Finally after 3 previous visits to Paris we have found some time to visit Buttes Chaumont in the 19th Arrondissement, it is not a park you would visit if it is your first time in Paris ifyou have limited days. I have wanted to visit this park since researching on things to do in Paris as it has so many... More

We visited Parc des Buttes Chaumont after Googling things to do on a sunny day in Paris and we certainly weren't disappointed. Hidden away in the 19th, but easily accessible by Metro (Buttes Chaumont or Botzaris) this place is like a Parisian escape. It's not necessarily the sort of place you'd go out of your way to visit on a... More

This is a beautiful park that is off the tourist track but well known by locals for its grottos and panoramic views of Paris. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and--despite an unexpected hailstorm--it did not disappoint with its views of the Sacré-Coeur. The park was also populated enough to feel safe during the day without being overly crowded. More

Stunning if slightly crazy park. Full of interesting walks and views, well worth an hour or so of your time. More

The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is located along the route of a Toonerville-style tiny spur of the Metro in the 19th Arr. The Park is really wonderful. A man-made pastiche of things the 19th c. Parisian planners thought blue collar Parisians wanted so as to be transported away from their workaday lives. Everything in this park is man-made -- the step... More
