Parc des Beaumonts
Laid out on former gypsum quarries above Montreuil, Parc des Beaumonts covers some 24 hectares of meadows, rough grassland and ponds. Its upper section offers one of the most open panoramas in eastern Paris, from Sacré-Cœur to the Eiffel Tower on clear days.
Its wetlands, deliberately managed for biodiversity, make it a recognised birdwatching site included in the Natura 2000 network, with over one hundred and fifty species recorded. Tip: climb to the viewpoint in late afternoon for the light over Paris, and keep to the marked paths around the ponds.
