Paris occupies a depression hollowed out by the Seine. The surrounding heights have elevations that vary from 430 feet (130 meters), at the butte of Montmartre in the north, to 85 feet (26 meters), in the Grenelle area in the southwest. The city is surrounded by great forests of beech and oak, called the “lungs of Paris,” as they help purify the air in the region.
