Jardin Claire-Motte

Jardin Claire-Motte is a public garden in the 17th arrondissement featuring landscaped green areas, tree-lined pathways, and open spaces for sitting. The layout combines quiet zones with accessible routes that wind through the park.

The garden was created in 2005 on the former route of a railway line that once connected Paris to the suburbs. The site also preserves remnants of a 19th-century fortification wall that once defined the city's perimeter.

The garden takes its name from Claire Motte, a principal ballerina at the Paris Opera, honoring French dance through this public green space. The naming preserves the memory of her artistic legacy within the neighborhood.

The garden is easily reached from Porte de Clichy metro station on line 13 nearby. Main entrances are located around Louis-Bernier square and near Albert-Roussel street for convenient access.

The garden offers views of the striking Tower-Flower architectural structure, a modern building that stands out against the historic surroundings. This contrast between contemporary design and older elements gives the space its distinctive character.
