Temple de la Sibylle, Monopteros pavilion on Île du Belvédère, Paris, France.
The Temple de la Sibylle stands at a height of 30 meters above the lake, providing panoramic views across Parc des Buttes-Chaumont and the Paris cityscape.
Gabriel Davioud designed this Roman-style monument in 1866, transforming a former quarry site into a central feature of the newly established public park.
The temple's name refers to the Greek oracle Sibyl, while its architectural design draws direct inspiration from the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, Italy.
Visitors can reach the temple via two bridges: a stone structure called Pont des Suicidés from the west and a suspended wooden walkway from the south.
The temple sits on an artificial rocky island that rises 50 meters above ground level, connected to the park by bridges designed during the Second Empire period.

Paris combines historic architecture with cultural institutions in ways that have drawn couples for generations. The city offers a mix of 19th-century parklands, bridges spanning the Seine, and street cafes that invite lingering. From the galleries of the Louvre to the cobbled paths of Montmartre, these locations provide opportunities to explore art, history, and urban life together. This collection includes well-known landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral alongside quieter spaces such as Parc Monceau and Square du Vert-Galant. Historic passages like Passage Jouffroy showcase 19th-century commercial architecture, while sites like Palais Garnier and Sainte-Chapelle present medieval and classical building styles. The Canal Saint-Martin and its locks offer views of the city's infrastructure away from main tourist routes. Each location contributes in its own way to Paris's appeal for travelers.
