Paris is situated on a relatively flat terrain, with its average elevation around 150 feet (45 meters) above sea level. The city lies within the Paris Basin, a low-lying area that was shaped over millennia by the meandering River Seine, which cuts through the city. Though generally flat, Paris is home to several notable hills, such as Montmartre (428 feet / 131 meters) and Belleville (422 feet / 129 meters), offering panoramic views across the city. The topography is further defined by the Seine’s presence, with the river having carved out valleys and leaving behind elevated terrains as it shifted over time. The highest point within Paris city limits is Montmartre, while the lowest is found near the western limits of the city, along the Seine.
