Places of interest in the neighborhood:

Parc Buttes Chaumont
Buttes Chaumont is a lovely park landscaped on former quarries. It is unusualin that when it was built in 1867 by Baron Haussmann it was a city dump. He used a then-new material, concrete, as landfill and created natural-looking cliffs, ravines, rivers and an artificial lake. At the lakeside classical temple one has one of the city ís most striking views of Montmartre and Sacre-Coeur, but some climbing is required. There is a lakeside cafe.

Parc de la Villette
Contains one of the world's largest and most visited science museums, La Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie discovering science and its use in industry in an interactive way. Included in the complex is the Geode, which shows omnimax movies of natural phenomena on a 1000 square meter hemispheric screen.
On the other side of the Parc is the Cite de la Musique, a stunning complex of buildings built in 1990 containing a Music Museum, two performance spaces and a yearly jazz festival and in the summer there is a free open-air film festival.
You can take a slow, leisurely barge ride from Musee d’ Orsay along the Ourcq and St. Martin Canals to the Bassin de la Villette.

20th Arrondissement, Pere-Lachaise and Belleville
An outlying residential area that includes Belleville and the Pere-Lachaise cemetery.

The Père-Lachaise Cemetery is the 20th's greatest landmark, it is the largest and most elite Cemetery in Paris, and perhaps the most famous in the world. It is the last resting-place of Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, Isadora Duncan, Sarah Bernhardt, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Colette, and many others. This 108 acre museum of french history is used as much as a park as a cemetery and Parisians come here to picnic. Belleville, which was the home of Edith Piaf and Maurice Chevalier, has been for a long time the neighborhood where new immigrants would settle.
