Square Albin-Cachot, Garden square and private road in Quartier de Croulebarbe, Paris, France.
Square Albin-Cachot is a narrow private road with adjoining green space in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, flanked by typical residential apartment buildings. The passage opens into small planted areas that give the location a park-like quality.
La France Mutualiste, a non-profit organization, founded the square in 1932 to provide housing for World War I veterans. The location was developed in response to the need for affordable accommodation for former soldiers.
The square is named after Albin Cachot, a social reformer, and reflects a commitment to providing affordable housing. Its narrow, elongated shape creates an intimate character that sets it apart from the wider boulevards of the neighborhood.
The location is easily accessible by Metro Line 6; Glacière station provides the nearest entrance to the square. Its private character means visitors should be respectful, as most people here are residents.
Filmmaker Luis Buñuel shot scenes here in 1966 for his film 'Belle de jour' and temporarily renamed the location for the production. The spot became a filming location for one of European cinema's most talked-about works.
