This thirteen-story waterfall, in the Buttes-Chaumont park in the northeastern
corner of the city, is one of the least-known and most unusual sights of the city of Paris.
The waterfall, which is supplied by the Canal Saint-Martin, drops 32 metres
into a grotto (from which this photo was taken), and then flows into a lake. The waterfall,
like most of the park, is part natural and part artificial—natural features in the land were enhanced
to produce a park with astonishing differences in elevation from one spot to another.
