    There are much more locals than tourists here. The park (opened in 1867) is really beautiful but it…read moreis less popular among visitors comparing to top Paris attractions. This is exactly why it's worth a visit - add something a bit different to your Paris trip. Landscape design is outstanding - you will find an artificial lake, a grotto and waterfalls. One of the two bridges was designed by Gustave Eiffel. The park is hilly and you can enjoy amazing views of Paris from different points. One of the highest points is Temple de la Sibylle (50m above the lake). You can see Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre from here. This place is great for running - you can do flat circles around the lake or hilly runs everywhere, there are some 8 kilometers of roads and paths. One of the three restaurants, Rosa Bonheur, is really popular, it may take an hour of waiting to get in on weekends. You can find 5 areas with free Wi-Fi in the park. Post to yelp from here and don't forget to FUC (funny/useful/cool) this review :) P.S. There's a renovation going on in the park from 2013 till 2016, some areas may be closed (Temple de la Sibylle is closed at the time of writing).

    Each time I go to France, I love exploring different regions and neighborhood. This time, we…read morerented a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment in the Bellville area. Exploring the area, I found this gem of a Parc. I love exploring where the locals go for relaxation and where they eat. After a tasty meal nearby, my friend Mats flew in from London and we explored this lovely park. We mostly stayed under the tree lined paths because it was a hot day. For a park, we were here on a Wednesday around 2pm, lots of people looking like they are having a siesta or a break from work. Everyone seemed friendly, kept to themselves. The park is rich with different plants, trees and flowers. We hiked up to the highest point, from here you have an observation look out on the rooftops of Paris and a gorgeous view of Sacre Coeur. On the way to the top, you get to cross a bridge and below is a little lake. Some parts are rather steep, go at your own pace and bring a bottled water on a hot day and a plus if you wear a hat. Every turn you go into this park had something appealing. If you look at my images, there is also a cave. During raining season, the cave has a waterfall in it, it's very pretty. Plenty of grass room to have a picnic, take a nap or read a book. If you opt for something else, lots of park benches that faces the lake. A wonderful oasis in the heart of Paris. Everyone is welcome here, singles, couples, children, dogs...

    This park is just delightful…read more It's a wonderful example of how you can take something mundane, apply a bit of imagination and turn it into a thing of elegance and beauty. The lot is on the side of a hill so the park starts off as two parallel stairways. They curve around a wooded area and drop you off on either side of the grotte. I've never seen stairs quite like this. When the pavement was poured they cut grooves into the steps that look like the grain in lumber. So the concrete looks like you're walking on wooden planks. And then you get to the cave. Someone took dozens of large, scraggly boulders and cemented them together to create a 30 foot structure with several entrances and a paved floor and a waterfall gently tumbling off the front into a beautiful, little, well manicured pool. Walk inside the grotte and you discover that you have a lovely view of the skyline of the nearby towns seen through the waterfall. And my kiddos climbed up to the top and discovered a little depression just big enough that they could squeeze their little butts inside and take a photo. Wander further down and there's a stone crocodile emerging out of the grass and another pair of staircases leading to a lovely lawn and a beautiful retaining wall ornamented with seven suns and several gargoyles. And still more stairs lead you to a little fountain and a reflecting pool and the little creek that runs through town. It's absolutely beautiful. One of those unexpected discoveries that make France such a delightful place.
