18th-century mausoleum with colonnaded facade, housing remains of notable French citizens. Place du Panthéon, 75005 Paris, France 19th-century park in former quarry, with tall trees, lake, waterfalls and old, iron railway bridge. Gorgeous park, the lake is under construction until 2024. I bet it will be more beautiful afterwards. Peaceful, tons of old growth trees and benches. Great for walking, jogging, picnic, or just sitting and relaxing. Almost like a mini version of Central Park. #familytrip #mytravelhacks #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #paris #falltrip #couplestrip #2023 #holidayvacation

THE PARC DES BUTTES CHAUMONT IS A PUBLIC PARK SITUATED IN NORTHEASTERN PARIS, FRANCE, IN THE 19TH ARRONDISSEMENT. OCCUPYING 24.7 HECTARES (61 ACRES), IT IS THE FIFTH-LARGEST PARK IN PARIS, AFTER THE BOIS DE VINCENNES, BOIS DE BOULOGNE, PARC DE LA VILLETTE AND TUILERIES GARDEN. OPENED IN 1867, LATE IN THE REGIME OF NAPOLEON III, IT WAS BUILT ACCORDING TO PLANS BY JEAN-CHARLES ADOLPHE ALPHAND, WHO CREATED ALL THE MAJOR PARKS DEMANDED BY THE EMPEROR.[1] THE PARK HAS 5.5 KILOMETRES (3.4 MILES) OF ROADS AND 2.2 KILOMETRES (1.4 MILES) OF PATHS. THE MOST FAMOUS FEATURE OF THE PARK IS THE TEMPLE DE LA SIBYLLE, INSPIRED BY THE TEMPLE OF VESTA IN TIVOLI, ITALY, AND PERCHED AT THE TOP OF A CLIFF FIFTY METRES ABOVE THE WATERS OF THE ARTIFICIAL LAKE. THE PARK TOOK ITS NAME FROM THE BLEAK HILL WHICH OCCUPIED THE SITE, WHICH, BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ITS SOIL, WAS ALMOST BARE OF VEGETATION – IT WAS CALLED CHAUVE-MONT, OR BARE HILL. THE AREA, JUST OUTSIDE THE LIMITS OF PARIS UNTIL THE MID-19TH CENTURY, HAD A SINISTER REPUTATION; IT WAS THE SITE OF THE GIBBET OF MONTFAUCON, THE NOTORIOUS PLACE WHERE FROM THE 13TH CENTURY UNTIL 1760, THE BODIES OF HANGED CRIMINALS WERE DISPLAYED AFTER THEIR EXECUTIONS.[3] AFTER THE 1789 REVOLUTION, IT BECAME A REFUSE DUMP, AND THEN A PLACE FOR CUTTING UP HORSE CARCASSES AND A DEPOSITORY FOR SEWAGE. THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS OF PARIS AND BUILDER OF THE PARK, JEAN-CHARLES ADOLPHE ALPHAND, REPORTED THAT "THE SITE SPREAD INFECTIOUS EMANATIONS NOT ONLY TO THE NEIGHBORING AREAS, BUT, FOLLOWING THE DIRECTION OF THE WIND, OVER THE ENTIRE CITY. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

Paris's 19th arrondissement is often misunderstood by Asian tourists 😨. Don't know where the urban legend came from, but the 18th, 19th, and 20th arrondissements of Paris are considered dangerous areas. It would be a shame to miss out because of this reason! Today I will introduce you to a street in the 19th district, "Rue des Solitaires" or "Street of the Lonely". The name can be traced back to the 18th century when this street was located on the outskirts of Paris and the homeowners were often referred to as "lonely people" or "hermits". Nowadays, it is a quiet residential street with low-rise apartment buildings on both sides. Each storefront has its own unique characteristics, which is quite interesting and suitable for people who want to explore Paris in depth and take a leisurely stroll. One of the largest parks in Paris, 🌳Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, is also nearby and worth a visit. The rugged natural landscape, waterfalls, and artificial lakes make it one of the most beautiful parks in Paris. From the hill in the center of the park, you can see the magnificent view of Paris. Do you still think that District 19 is "scary"? ----- 🚄Transportation guide: rue des Solitaires Take subway line 11 and get off at "Place de la fête" station, then walk for 5 minutes.
