Buttes Chaumont & Ourcq - 19th Arrondissement
Green spaces, canals and major cultural venues give the 19th Arrondissement of Paris a character quite different from the historic centre. In northeast Paris, the arrondissement brings together the dramatic landscape of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, the waterside atmosphere of the Bassin de la Villette and Canal de l’Ourcq, and the museums, music and architecture of Parc de la Villette.
Walk beside the canal for cafés, restaurants, bars and waterside activities, explore Buttes-Chaumont for hills, viewpoints and winding paths, or continue towards La Villette for the Philharmonie de Paris, Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie and Cité de la Musique. Away from these major destinations, smaller neighbourhood streets reveal food shops, markets and a more everyday side of northeast Paris.
