The Buttes-Chaumont district is known for its beautiful big park. From the top of the hill, you get an unobstructed view of the capital and the Sacré-Coeur. A rural area with a working class feel The Buttes-Chaumont district is becoming increasingly popular. It is a lively, working class district with the feel of a small, rural village, perfect for those who want to escape the crowds. Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is a vast garden in the Haussmann style. It was built in 1867 on an old stone quarry for the Paris World's Fair. Covering more than 60 acres, it is the third largest green space in the capital after La Villette and Les Tuileries. With its high altitude and fresh air, the Buttes-Chaumont district is an enjoyable place to visit on a daily basis. The Buttes-Chaumont park is particularly popular with sporty people who come to recharge their batteries. Walkers and families enjoy Sunday strolls by the lake or picnics on the park's lawns. A vast park overlooking Paris The Buttes-Chaumont park is a hilly garden almost 330 feet up. It is a stunning location with grottoes, waterfalls, footbridges, a suspension bridge, a Greco-Roman style arch dominating the park, and an artificial lake where waterhens and ducks splash around. The suspension bridge soars 213 feet above the lake - not for the faint-hearted! It is the perfect park for children with its puppet theater, pony rides, swings, carousel, and a playground with sandboxes, slides, artificial streams, and more. The district also has a large number of typical Parisian bistros and restaurants. Food is reasonably priced and the atmosphere welcoming. At the center of the park, the "Rosa Bonheur" bistro-café has live music and a well-established reputation. Many people come here with friends to get away from it all! Entrances all around the park In addition to its 6 main entrances, the park also has 9 secondary entrances all around the garden. The district can be reached by metro line 7, which serves the Botzaris and Buttes-Chaumont stations, and by line 5 at the Laumière station. It is a family-oriented area where you can find everything you need: bakeries, convenience stores, etc. If you want to visit the Buttes-Chaumont district during your stay in Paris, take a look at our selection of rental properties in Paris.
