Parc de Belleville, Urban park in 20th arrondissement, Paris.
Parc de Belleville stretches across a hillside and features terraced gardens, water features, grassy areas, and children's playgrounds across multiple levels.
Before becoming a park in 1988, the area contained cottages, gypsum quarries, and vineyards that produced local wine from the Middle Ages through the 18th century.
The park includes an amphitheater, open-air theater, and various sculptures by local artists, enriching the cultural experience of visitors throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the park via Metro Line 11 at Pyrénées station, with the entrance at 47 Rue des Couronnes providing easier access than climbing the steep hill.
At 108 meters elevation, this park contains Paris's longest waterfall fountain measuring 100 meters and offers panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur.

Paris rewards visitors who venture beyond the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame. The Musée d'Orsay houses one of the world's finest Impressionist collections, while the Centre Pompidou showcases contemporary art in its distinctive inside-out building. Below ground, the Catacombs wind through tunnels lined with the remains of six million Parisians. Sainte-Chapelle preserves 15 towering windows of 13th-century stained glass that fill the Gothic chapel with colored light. Markets like Marché d'Aligre bring together fresh produce, vintage furniture, and antiques under one roof. The city's neighborhoods and waterways offer equally rewarding discoveries. Le Marais combines medieval architecture with boutiques, galleries, and restaurants in its narrow streets. The Coulée Verte René-Dumont transforms an abandoned railway viaduct into an elevated garden path. Along the Canal Saint-Martin, tree-lined banks invite afternoon walks and waterside gatherings. Père Lachaise Cemetery serves as both a park and the burial ground for writers, artists, and musicians. The Musée Rodin displays sculptures in an 18th-century mansion surrounded by gardens, while the Musée Jacquemart-André presents European masterworks in an elegant private residence. Rue Crémieux's pastel-painted facades create one of the city's most photographed corners.
