Places of Interest

Parc Buttes Chaumont
You can take a slow, leisurely barge ride from Musee d'Orsay alongthe Ourcq and St. Martin Canals to the Bassin de la Villette. Buttes Chaumont is a lovely park landscaped on former quarries. It is unusualin that when it was built in 1867 by Baron Haussmann it was a city dump. He used a then-new material, concrete, as landfill and created natural-looking cliffs, ravines, rivers and an artificial lake. At the lakeside classical temple one has one of the city's moststriking views of Montmartre and Sacre-Coeur, but some climbing is required. There is a lakeside cafe.

Parc de la Villette
Contains one of the world's largest and most visited science museums, La Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie discovering science and its use in industry in an interactive way. Included in the complex is the Geode, which shows omnimax movies of natural phenomena on a 1000 square meter hemispheric screen.
