Parc Kellermann
The largest park in the 13th, terraced into the line of the old Thiers fortifications with 1930s level changes and a formal French garden up top. A working neighbourhood park — football pitch, tennis, an outdoor fitness circuit — rather than a tourist stop.

Reached from Boulevard Kellermann; Métro 7 to Porte d'Italie. The upper terrace holds the planted garden, the lower levels the sports ground.
