19th district: Buttes-Chaumont
The 19th district connects Buttes-Chaumont, Bassin de la Villette and Parc de la Villette. These open spaces offer very different outings: viewpoints, quays and cultural venues.
The four administrative quarters
- Villette
- Pont-de-Flandre
- Amérique
- Combat
These administrative names do not always match the informal areas used in everyday conversation.
Administrative area: approximately 6.79 km². This is an area measurement, not a walking distance. Official district dataset, source record dated 2026-10-06.
Choose hills or waterside space
Buttes-Chaumont suits a walk with changes in height, while Bassin and Parc de la Villette follow the water. Philharmonie and Cité des sciences are visits to programme separately.
Let a ticketed activity anchor the day
If you choose a concert or exhibition, start with its time and entrance. Keep the outdoor part flexible instead of assuming every cultural venue is one combined attraction.
