The considered guideParis
Make a day of northeast Paris
Choose an arts hall, a hillside park or a Cambodian meal. Four starting points for getting beyond the centre.

Build the day around one place you want to spend time in, then choose a second if the mood lasts. These addresses span several neighbourhoods: treat them as options across northeast Paris, with time for travel between them.
For an indoor anchor, start with CENTQUATRE’s open spaces. For a view and a walk, choose Belleville. Buttes-Chaumont offers another stretch of green, with restoration changing which routes are available. The Alibert restaurant gives the day a flexible meal stop near the canal.
There is no prescribed order or promise to fit all four into an afternoon. Check the linked records for opening days, current closures and arrival arrangements; pick a shorter outing when that feels better. This guide is an original editorial selection based on the places’ published information.
CENTQUATRE-PARIS
Begin with an open cultural space and see what is happening. A wander through the halls can be a plan in itself.
Parc de Belleville
Choose the hillside for a change of perspective. Take the slopes at your own pace and check the closing time.
Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Make this an alternative park outing. Follow the current restoration map; the central temple is not an accessible stop.
Le Petit Cambodge: Alibert
Finish with a meal if the canal area fits your route. Use the Alibert branch details, as other branches differ.
