Paris: Parc des Buttes-Chaumont question

Since I've extended my stay in Paris to 5 full days, I am going to have a chance to explore this beautiful park

I read that the Temple is inaccessible at the moment - anyone know if this is still so?

I'd really love to walk scrubs the bridge and go to the waterfall - are they close to each other?

As for lunch, Ora Farmhouse looks good - I'd it worth it or should I go elsewhere in the neighborhood ?

Thank you!!

Due to stabilization and renovation work which will continue for months, access to the island and the Temple of the Sybille as well as the small and large waterfalls are closed and prohibited
- Part of the circular path around the lake is closed.

In the same neighborhood (not in the park):

Thanks, JoLui!

Hopefully things will be better by June…but if not, is the Parc still worth visiting?

Someone also recommended climbing the steps to Butte Bergeyre….that looks lovely.

I’m going to check this restaurant out…

Thanks again!

No idea what the park might look like during the renovation work. I lived nearby for a few years (a long time ago) but I didn't go back for a long time.

The Butte Bergeyre is very small with a nice view of Montmartre if you climb the stairs from here:

Nothing to do but wait and see how it is in June!

The steps don’t look too bad - hopefully I’ll be in decent shape by then, lol

Thanks!
