Jardin Louise-Weber-dite-La-Goulue

The Jardin Louise-Weber-dite-La-Goulue is a public garden in Montmartre featuring planted areas across multiple levels and children's play equipment including a sandbox. The space makes efficient use of the terrain by combining different functions in a small footprint.

The garden was originally established in 1985 as Jardin Burq and renamed in 2021 to honor Louise Weber, a renowned can-can dancer. This change reflects a shift in how the city recognizes local cultural figures.

The garden sits behind the Bateau-Lavoir, the famous artist studio building where you can see the rear facade of the structure where Picasso and other artists worked. From this vantage point, you get a sense of how closely this spot is tied to Montmartre's artistic past.

The garden is located on Rue Burq and is easily reached by the Abbesses Metro station or the Durantin-Burq bus stop nearby. Because of the sloping terrain, there are multiple levels to explore when walking through the space.

In 2018, the garden underwent a major redesign when a small football field replaced the children's playground area. This change sparked conversations among local residents about how public spaces should be used.
