Lonely Planet review

Encircled by tall apartment blocks, the 25-hectare Buttes-Chaumont Park is the closest thing in Paris to Manhattan's Central Park. The park's lush, forested slopes hide grottoes and artificial waterfalls, and the romantic lake is dominated by a temple-topped island. Once a quarry and rubbish tip, the park was given its present form by Baron Haussmann in the 1860s.
