The Parc de Belleville may not be as meticulously arranged or as aesthetically perfect as many of the parks in Paris but it does boast one of the best views of the city. Perched at the top of the steep rue Belleville, the park descends in a series of grassy terraces, modern water features and tiny flower strewn pathways towards the rue Couronnes. Its only a small park but the pretty foliage-covered pathways are lined with benches and little grassy enclaves: all tranquil, quaint and peaceful. And if you fancy a rest after the trek up the hill, head past the rue Piat entrance at the top of the park and you’ll come to the lovely La Mer à Boire cafe As in many of Paris’ parks and public spaces there is now free WiFi available.

Really nice park to relax. Indeed, up the hill there is a nice neighborhood with a local feel and great cafes and restaurants.
