The 10 Best Things to do in Belleville / Père Lachaise, Ile-de-France
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

My visit was exponentially valuable thanks to Rick Steves audio guide (download available free online, do a search), which was an hour guided walk describing the history and directing us to the best known graves, like Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Edith Piaf, Chopin, Colette and of course Jim Morrison; as well as memorials to deaths in war, Nazi victims and plane crashes. Definitely I recommend doing this guided walk!

What a lovely place to go and sit in the shade on a hot day. It is a park with its fair share of tourists getting a good view from the mini temple, but it also has many, many Parisians just enjoying the park. There are paths to walk, benches to sit on, a little stream, and a pond with fish, ducks, geese, and we even saw a turtle. We didn't make use of the children's rides or the cafes, but they are there for those who want.
