Parc des Buttes-Chaumont


Back to the parks, I know. But did you know that such a place even existed in our favorite city?

Parc des Buttes-Chaumont was once the site of a gypsum quarry and was designated a park in the 1860's. Meandering paths, waterfalls, caves and a bridge, cheerfully named Pont des Suicides, are all features of the park.
