Parc de Belleville belvedere
At the top of Parc de Belleville, 108 metres above sea level, the belvedere is one of the highest freely accessible points in Paris. The wooden terrace overlooks a cascade and vines, with a clear view taking in the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse, the Panthéon and, on clear days, La Défense.
Laid out in 1988 on the slopes of former gypsum quarries, the park uses the gradient with staircases, terraces and playgrounds. Tip: come up rue Piat to arrive straight at the belvedere; sunset here is among the best in the city, and the park closes at nightfall.
