Paris 19 Buttes-Chaumont

The arrondissement, known as Butte-Chaumont, is situated on the right bank of the River Seine. It is crossed by two canals, the Canal Saint-Denis and the Canal de l'Ourcq, which meet near the Parc de la Villette.

The 19th arrondissement, mixing the Old French bohemianism and also the Parisian cosmopolitanism, includes two public parks: the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, located on a hill, and the Parc de la Villette, which is home to the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, a museum and exhibition center; the Conservatoire de Paris, one of the most renowned music schools in Europe; the Cabaret Sauvage; and the Zénith de Paris and the Philharmonie de Paris, both part of the Cité de la Musique.
