Parc Buttes Chaumont
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.
