The Basics

Covering almost 62 acres (25 hectares), the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont ranks among Paris’ largest parks. Constructed on a disused limestone and gypsum quarry, the park opened to the public in 1867, which coincided with that year’s Universal Exposition. The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont’s most recognizable feature is the Temple de la Sibylle, a Roman temple folly, which was designed by architect Gabriel Davioud and inspired by the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli. It stands on the summit of the impressive Île de la Belvédère and can be reached on foot.

The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont features on bike tours, as well as off-the-beaten-track-themed city explorations. It is also easy to discover independently.

Entry to the park is free for all.
The park is accessible to wheelchair users via its main paths, though uneven terrain makes certain areas difficult to access.
Some of the best views of the park can be taken in from its 207-foot-long (63-meter-long) suspension bridge.
