A day out to The Parc des Buttes Chaumont.........

Leesa and Barbara

We decided to venture a little bit further afield to

Parc Buttes Chaumont, a fabulous parc , it is wonderful to walk around, up and down too



I think that you can click on the photos and enlarge them .



The Parc is is situated in the

19th arrondissement at the Rue Botzaris

and has two metro entrances, Botzaris and Buttes Chaumont.

A brilliant day out.. Thank you to my friends!

  3. You know it becomes more and more apparent to me that I completely wasted some beautiful opportunities the two summers I spent in Paris and not once did I linger in this gorgeous park. Yet another among many reasons to return. thank you Anne for the fantastic pics and it certainly looks like this May holiday was a great one.

  5. Hi Anne...

    GREAT shots and I LOVE the photo collages!!
    Hey... such a beautiful park, right?!! Wish it was sooo far up in Paris-- takes FOREVER to get to by metro for me down here in Antony-- but worth the trip...
    I love that place Rosa Bonheur.. We'll have to go back when you come back...
    Can't believe it was that cold (for me to have on my down coat)...
    Take care,
    Leese

  12. Did you know that it used to be an old stone quarry? That's why it has all of those hills and dips. I think they did a great job of making a park out of it.

  19. Ahhhh, there it is! :) Catching up on a bit of back reading on your blog and I came across this post. I'm so glad you had a chance to visit here.

    I just noted the night before last that the tree in the third photo/the first photo collage is slated to be cut down (it's marked with orange pain and it is obvious it is diseased as most of the branches are now brown and dead). It's the weirdest tree, too! I'm so sorry it is to be no more, but you have a great picture of it!
