Square Alexandre-et-René-Parodi, Urban park in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Square Alexandre-et-René-Parodi spans 2.3595 hectares, making it the largest public garden in the 16th arrondissement of Paris between Boulevard Amiral-Bruix and Boulevard Thierry-de-Martel.

The square was established in 1958 on the former Thiers fortifications and bears the names of two Liberation companions: Alexandre Parodi, a civil servant, and René Parodi, a magistrate arrested by the Gestapo.

The park hosts the Romanès Circus during winter months, bringing entertainment and performances to local residents and visitors of the 16th arrondissement.

The triangular layout includes lawns, children's shelters, play areas for different age groups, and numerous trees such as apple trees, mulberries, and flowering cherry trees.

A monument dedicated to Émile Levassor commemorates his victory in the 1895 Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race, while the 'Vent des batailles' steel sculpture honors General Koenig with a message from General de Gaulle.
