Belleville Reservoir, Water tank in Télégraphe Street, 20th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Belleville Reservoir spans two underground levels with a total capacity of 18,000 cubic meters for water distribution across eastern Paris.
Engineer Eugène Belgrand constructed the reservoir between 1862 and 1865 as part of Baron Haussmann's renovation program of Paris under the Second Empire.
The reservoir represents a milestone in Parisian water infrastructure, built at the highest point of the city to maximize water distribution efficiency.
Two water towers were added in 1919 to supply water to the increasing number of tall buildings in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The facility includes a 1,200-square-meter urban flower farm called Plein Air, established in 2017 through the Parisculteurs initiative.
