Place de Clichy

Place de Clichy is a square spanning the 8th, 9th, 17th, and 18th arrondissements of Paris, connecting several neighborhoods together. The space is structured by green trees, surrounded by cafes, and displays classic Parisian square architecture with buildings from different periods.

The square emerged from the convergence of several street networks developed through different phases of Paris arrondissements' urban growth. Its current form developed through architectural redesign across the 19th and 20th centuries as the city established its modern framework.

The square serves as a meeting place where locals and visitors gather under the trees for walks or brief stops. The atmosphere is shaped by surrounding cafes and proximity to traditional Parisian neighborhoods, fostering everyday social interaction.

The square is easily accessible on foot and offers plenty of seating under trees as well as in surrounding cafes. The best time to visit is on warm days when the plaza is actively used and bars and restaurants set out outdoor tables.

The square marks an important traffic hub where several major streets meet and numerous transit lines converge. This hub function gives the location special dynamism and makes it a point where the city is constantly in motion.
