Rosa Bonheur and the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, Paris

This is a lovely, off the beaten path salon du thé! Rosa Bonheur is just so cute, quaint, and charming that you just want to pass the day away enjoying the coziness of it! It's a bit odd, in a good way, though... lots of character- definitely MY type of place!

Interesting, unique, a little strange/odd.... original décor!

On this GORGEOUS hot, summer day... it was me, Dawn, Karin, and Aurelia!

I can't believe that Aurelia biked all the way here, way to go!

This place draws in a HUGE crowd!! See.. EVERYONE loves to hang out here on a beautiful day! It's sooo dreamy!

They had to regulate the number of people who came in because there were SOOOO many people! Many waiting in line, too... The place was buzzing....

"The attractions of the Parc des Buttes Chaumont are numerous. The park includes several cliffs and bridges, a grotto that encloses a 20-meter high waterfall, a lake, and several English and Chinese gardens." Wikipedia

"A 63 meter long suspension bridge, renovated in 2009, crosses the lake and allows access to the island. A 22 meter high bridge, known as the "suicide bridge", allows access to the belvedere from the south side of the park." Wikipedia

I LOVE this suspension bridge in the park... This park is amazing.... and so different from the other parks in Paris! To find out more about it HERE (in French) and HERE (in English).

"The most prominent feature is the belvedere of Sybil, which sits atop a 30 meter rocky peak at the top of an island partially surrounded by a lake. The belvedere, added to the park in 1869, is a Corinthian-style monument, modeled after the ancient Roman temple of Sybil in Tivoli, Italy." Wikipedia
