This route is fast, reliable, and passes through scenic stretches of the Bois de Vincennes, offering glimpses of urban greenery and forested landscapes.

The Pyramide du Bois de Vincennes, built in 1867, is a concrete pyramid with a circular base and inverted cone shape. Designed for military use, it functioned as a command tower during 19th-century army training exercises.
Its exterior uses early reinforced concrete techniques, weathered over time to develop moss and ivy, creating a seamless blend with the surrounding Bois de Vincennes forest—a concept known as "disappearing architecture."
Inside, original staircases and ventilation shafts remain intact, showcasing advanced engineering for its era. Though not open to the public, its geometric form and integration with nature make it a rare example of industrial and ecological harmony, drawing architects, historians, and urban explorers alike.
Yes! The Bois de Vincennes features several child-focused spaces like Jardin des Enfants, which offers interactive plant displays, mini-ecology ponds, and outdoor science stations—perfect for hands-on learning through play.
Each summer, Forest Camp programs run by certified guides include survival skills, animal tracking, and craft workshops for children aged 6–12.

Staying at Novotel Paris 20 Belleville was a great experience overall. The location is super convenient—just a short walk to the metro, making it easy to explore central Paris or grab dinner nearby. I was upgraded from a standard room to a terrace room for free during my stay, which was a nice surprise. The terrace room itself was comfortable and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. However, there was one minor issue: on July 7th, I needed to head to Gare du Nord early in the morning. The front desk arranged a Tesla taxi for me, and the fare was €21. I paid with a €100 bill, but the driver only gave me back €65 in change and didn’t provide a receipt. By the time I’d gathered my luggage, he drove off without waiting. It’s not the hotel’s fault, but it’s worth noting that some taxis in Paris can be unreliable—consider using ride-hailing apps or paying via card when possible. Despite this small hiccup, the hotel exceeded expectations in comfort, service, and value. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a solid base in Paris.
