Parc de la Butte du Chapeau-Rouge

The park spans 4.7 hectares on a hillside with structured landscapes, symmetrical spaces, monumental gates, kiosks, shelters, and cascading fountains.

Designed by architect Léon Azéma and opened in 1939, this green space was established on former gypsum quarries known as carrières d'Amérique.

The park features prominent artworks including the Eve fountain by Raymond Couvègnes and three large white benches created by Bert Theis.

Multiple entrances provide access to play areas, table tennis facilities, and terraces, with the nearest Metro station being Pré-Saint-Gervais.

The park contains notable tree species including Paper Mulberry, Siberian Elm, Tulip tree, Giant Sequoia, and several American Locust specimens.
