Esplanade Pierre-Vidal-Naquet, Urban park in Quartier de la Gare, 13th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The esplanade Pierre-Vidal-Naquet stretches 140 meters long and 40 meters wide, serving as both a private road and pedestrian space within the Parisian urban network of the 13th district.
Named in 2008 after Pierre Vidal-Naquet, the French historian and anthropologist renowned for his work on ancient Greek civilization and his courageous stance against torture during the Algerian War.
The esplanade features the artwork Monochrome for Paris by Nancy Rubins, installed in 2013, which adds an artistic dimension to this urban space connecting the renovated Grands Moulins and Halle aux farines buildings.
Located near Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand RER station on line C, the esplanade provides easy access for students, workers, and visitors exploring the redeveloped ZAC Paris-Rive-Gauche area.
This space uniquely transforms a former industrial circulation route into a memorial esplanade that honors intellectual heritage while serving as a connecting passage between historical monuments and modern university facilities.
