The experience
A 24.7-hectare park opened on 1 April 1867, built by Adolphe Alphand out of a disused gypsum quarry in northeastern Paris. An artificial 1.5-hectare lake surrounds the rocky Belvedere island, topped by Gabriel Davioud's Temple de la Sibylle 50 metres above the water and modelled on the temple at Tivoli. A 14-by-20-metre grotto holds artificial stalactites up to 8 metres long and a 20-metre pumped waterfall.
The most theatrical landscape in Paris — cliffs, a temple on an island, and almost no tour groups.
