Key moments

FEBRUARY 2000The founding plan invoked twenty years laterThe Council approved the principle of restoring the park and launching an international project-management competition, with no amount specified.

FEBRUARY 2000A founding conflict between concessions and the parkThe "Pavillon du lac" agreement was contested in session: its Article 11 maintained car access and provided for compensating the operator if the City were to remove it, despite the unanimous motion of the Sites Commission on 8 June 1999.

JUNE 2000The park's cultural life and public moneyThe small stage of the Guignol Anatole puppet theatre, destroyed by the storm of 26 December 1999, had to be rebuilt: an estimate of 206,127 francs excluding tax, of which 106,127 francs from insurance and 100,000 francs of announced exceptional grant.

APRIL 2004A failing concession, lost revenueThe Pavillon du Lac had been unused since 2001: permit refused after an unfavourable opinion from the sites authority, a fee exemption, the agreement terminated in 2002, and a new call for candidates published in January 2004.

NOVEMBER 2008Unstable ground, the cause of everything elseThe Council launched a tender for continuing the ground-stabilization works beneath the lake's circular path and beneath certain pavilions.

OCTOBER 2021First public costing of the renovationThe executive replied to a motion on the state of the park: €12 million already committed, 5 hectares to be renovated out of 25, a BRGM study conducted in September 2021, and two years before the first works.

In the Municipal Bulletin

Between 1898 and 1907, the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont appears only three times in the Bulletin municipal officiel, each time for a different reason. In December 1898, the park was made available to the Caisse — which the Bulletin does not otherwise identify — which had already generated revenue there in 1882. In October 1900, it was argued that the park lay within the area concerned and that the great distance between the place des Fêtes and the porte d'Aubervilliers had no means of transport. In July 1907, the restoration works on the Fessart-Secrétan bridge, in the park, falling under the East sector of the Promenades, were put out to tender, by public auction, on sealed bids; the archive stops at this point of putting the contract out to competition and does not say what became of it.
