Parc de Belleville

The Parc de Belleville, opened in 1988, spreads over Belleville hill, the highest point in Paris at 108 metres above sea level. At its summit, a terrace almost thirty metres high offers a panoramic view of the city. The park has a 100-metre cascading fountain, the longest in Paris, which flows down the hillside. It has 1,200 trees and shrubs, as well as 1,000 square metres of lawn open to the public. Among its historic features is a vineyard of Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, planted in 1992 as a reminder of the hill's winemaking past. It is also home to the 'Maison de l'Air', an educational space on pollution, and the 'Belvédère Willy Ronis', renamed in 2015 in honour of the photographer. The park has an open-air amphitheatre hosting a regular free cultural programme, such as the 'Kiosques en Fête' series, with concerts, dance and theatre. Other facilities include a wooden children's playground, table-tennis tables and a temporary exhibition trail, such as one dedicated to Rue Vilin and Georges Perec.
