Highest point of Paris, Geographic point in Montmartre, France
The highest natural elevation in Paris reaches 130.53 meters at Calvaire Cemetery, next to Saint-Pierre de Montmartre church in the northern district.
The location served as a strategic point in 1792 when Claude Chappe established his optical telegraph system for military communications across France.
The elevation measurement creates an ongoing debate between Montmartre and Belleville districts regarding which one holds the title of highest point.
While Montmartre contains the highest natural point, Belleville offers public access to its peak at 128.50 meters through the cemetery entrance.
The altitude marker on Rue du Mont-Cenis indicates 129.35 meters, providing scientific reference for geographical studies of Parisian elevations.
