#5 Parc des Buttes Chaumont

This lovely park situated in the 19th arrondissement is the perfect place to find some peace and tranquility while in the city. Dog-walkers, joggers, tourists and locals congregate here for their 'green space' fix. Up top from the Roman-esque lookout point you're treated to wonderful views. Not only can you see out over Paris, but it also allows you to appreciate the design of the park and the lake below (popular with bird life).

... If you're in the mood for a Parisian stroll (and you've already walked along the Seine), then Parc des Buttes Chaumont is a great place to start!
