A lesser-known park tucked in the upper border of the 19th, just above the hidden village that is the Quartier de la Mouzaïa. Designed by the architect Léon Azéma expect the same undulating hillocks of the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, though with Neoclassical design and some Brutalist sculptures.

With the sloping hills and curving, interlocking paths, the Parc des Buttes Chaumont is one of the most impressive parks in Paris and offers some of the most prized, Parisian views. Join the fellow runners darting through the caves, waterfalls and over the bridges or, come the summer, listen to the live jazz bands and guitar strumming. 

Modern bistro with extremely delicious & interesting small Asian dishes and beautiful natural wines. Your best bet is to order the entire menu and stay for hours. 

Marnes Bleues is another welcome addition to a neighbourhood already packed with wine bars, prized bistros, and standout addresses. Conveniently located just metres from the Avenue Jacques de Liniers entrance to Buttes-Chaumont, it offers the perfect pit stop before or after a walk in the park. Consider Marnes Bleues the more casual companion to its older sister, Soif. Impeccably sourced wines are still poured straight from the counter tap, and here, the gentle chitter-chatter of locals provides the soundtrack as a selection of small plates –  smoked tofu tartare, perfectly grilled Padrón peppers, and fish crudo topped with a fruity apricot sauce – is paired with a bottle from the shelves. Our current pick is Quel Pied Danser, a light, chilled red.
