Parc des Buttes Chaumont a public park in Paris, France. The park is one of the largest in Paris and is a favourite of Parisians who flock to the grassy slopes to relax, picnic and stroll through the 5 kilometers of paths found in the park. The park was commissioned by the French Emperor, Napoleon III after the land occupied by the former quarry was annexed to Paris. The park was developed by Baron Haussmann and Engineer Jean-Charles Alphand. After 4 years of construction, it was opened as part of the festivities of the Universal Exhibition in 1867. The most prominent feature is the Belvedere of Sybil which sits atop the rocky peak at the center of the park. The Belvedere, added to the park in 1869, is a Corinthian style monument, modeled after the ancient Roman Temple of Sybil in Tivoli, Italy.
