- Topography_of_Paris abstract "The topography, or physical lay of the land, of Paris, the capital of France, is relatively flat but contains a number of hills. Montmartre: 130 m (425 ft) above sea level (ASL). It was leveled in the 18th century. Belleville: 128 m (420 ft) ASL Menilmontant: 108 m (354 ft) ASL Buttes-Chaumont: 80 m (269 ft) ASL Passy: 71 m (233 ft) ASL Chaillot: 67 m (220 ft) ASL Montagne Sainte-Geneviève: 61 m (200 ft) ASL Butte-aux-Cailles: 62 m (203 ft) ASL Montparnasse: 66 m (217 ft) ASLThe highest elevation in the urban area of Paris is in the Forest of Montmorency (Val-d'Oise département), 19.5 km. (12 miles) north-northwest of the center of Paris as the crow flies, at 195 metres (640 ft) above sea level.The lowest point is 35 m (115 ft) above sea level.Paris lies in the so-called "Paris Basin," a low lying continental shelf region that is occasionally submerged by ocean waters over geologic time, which leaves marine sedimentary deposits behind (e.g., limestone, which was used to construct many of the buildings of the city; this was excavated from an underground quarry called the "Paris catacombs"). When the region is above sea-level, as at the present time, rivers draining water from the land form, and these cut channels into the landscape.The rivers therefore strongly influence the topography of Paris. The Seine river cuts through Paris, but has apparently meandered in the past within a larger valley whose edges lie on the outskirts of the metropolitan area (the edges of this larger valley are visible from tall buildings in Paris). Many of the "hills" in Paris, appear to be formed as the result of cutoffs from previous meanders in the Seine river, which is now largely channelized to maintain its stability.".
