Parc des Buttes Chaumont
Buttes Chaumont is a beautiful public park in Paris. The residents of the city like to spend their free time here, and also recommend it to the guests of the city. On the magnificent green slopes of the park area, you can have a wonderful picnic or just take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Buttes-Chaumont Park is located on the outskirts of the city, where natural building materials for urban buildings were previously mined. The park was organized by order of Napoleon III, as soon as this territory was annexed to the city limits. A little later, Baron Haussmann and Jean-Charles-Alphand, who was a very talented architect, began to take care of the park. For four years, active work was carried out on the arrangement of the park, and in 1867 it opened its gates to the first visitors, who immediately appreciated its beauty.
Paris's Buttes Chaumont Park contains magnificent cliffs, wonderful bridges, clear lakes, beautiful waterfalls, as well as magnificent gardens in various styles. The famous Sibyl's Belvedere, which was created in 1869, is located on one of the high hills. In appearance, it resembles the ancient Sibyl temple, which is located in the middle of Tivoli. It can be reached by a special bridge that stretches 63 meters.
Quite a variety of plant species are represented in this park. Lebanese cedars grow here, which were planted back in 1880, as well as hazel and some varieties of elms and holly trees.
The main entrance to the Buttes-Chaumont Nature Park is located right next to the Place Armand Carrel. The main entrance is approached by a huge gate, of which there are five (Port Bolivar), as well as seven small gates that are located around the perimeter.
Cozy restaurants and cafes can be enjoyed in the modern park, as well as theaters and playgrounds. The entire park is equipped with an accessible wireless Internet network.
Every year at the beginning of autumn, the Silhouettes Festival takes place in Buttes-Chaumont, where short film cuts are on display. During the festival, guests of the park are allowed to stay here until late, but on all other days the Butte Chaumont does not work at night. The seven-day festival is followed by an award ceremony.
