Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Alphand built this in 1867 out of a worked-out gypsum quarry: a fifty-metre cliff, a suspension footbridge over a lake, grottoes hung with cast-concrete stalactites, and the Temple de la Sibylle on the island above the water.
Long-running
The island and temple are fenced for multi-year soil works — photograph them from the shore. The western slopes near Rue Botzaris give the line to Montmartre.
