Paris Study Abroad 2014: 19th Arrondissement

The 19^th Arrondissement is a great place to spend a day in Paris. The parks in this district are huge and beautiful. The Parc des Buttes Chaumont is on a high cliff and I was able to see some great views of Paris. The whole park was extravagant from the bridges to the caves to the waterfalls. This park being in the 19^th arrondissement doesn’t get a lot of tourists, which is another reason that makes this park so great. This great park has many elements to it, such as a few cafes in the park I could ate and spent the day. It was fun at the top of the Temple Sybille where you could see more amazing views of Paris. Overall I recommend the park to all who come to Paris.

Here I am, after a little hike across the bridge and up to the Temple Sybille.

The other park I visited in the 19^th was the Parc de la Vilitte, which is one of the biggest parks in Paris. It has music and concert halls that bring in many visitors. There are many attractions in this park as well. Within the park there are a few areas for children that entertain them really well. You will also find an equestrian center and an IMAX theater. I went to a couple that perked my interest and found them to be a great insight to the Parisian life. The music hall is huge and amazing. The Cite de la Musique is a music museum filled with instruments. The park was also dense and contained a lot to see.
