Eaux de Belleville, Historical water reservoir in 20th arrondissement, France.
The Belleville reservoir consists of two underground levels with a total capacity of 18000 cubic meters supplying water to northeastern Paris districts.
Engineer Eugène Belgrand directed the construction between 1862 and 1865 as part of Baron Haussmann's extensive renovation program for Paris.
The site demonstrates the advancement of 19th-century Parisian hydraulic engineering and the city's commitment to public water infrastructure.
Located at the highest point of Paris at 128 meters altitude, this structure enables water distribution through gravity to surrounding neighborhoods.
Two water towers added in 1919 on the western side of the reservoir supply water to tall buildings in the district.
