Plan your session
The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont feels like a landscape painting: steep green hills, a lake, waterfalls and the Temple de la Sibylle perched on its cliff, with views over the city.
Because it is off the tourist trail, it is a great choice for relaxed, intimate sessions, from couples to families. The paths are hilly, so plan comfortable shoes.
