Square du Palais Galliera

Square du Palais Galliera is a green space situated behind the Palais Galliera museum, designed with multiple interconnected sections. Walkways with benches wind through the park, while seasonal flowerbeds change throughout the year to offer different plantings.

The square opened in 1888 alongside the Palais Galliera, which was designed by architect Léon Ginain in the Italian Renaissance style. Its creation as a public garden was part of a larger development plan for this section of the 16th arrondissement.

The square displays multiple sculptures, including the Avril fountain by Pierre Roche and L'Enfance de Bacchus by Jean-Joseph Perraud, scattered throughout its pathways. These artworks are woven into the green space and give the place an artistic character that visitors encounter as they walk.

The park is open to the public free of charge and is easily accessible near Avenue Pierre-Ier-de-Serbie. Visitors can view the Eiffel Tower from several vantage points throughout the grounds, making it a pleasant stop while exploring the neighborhood.

The square houses an inscribed fountain that links April's weather patterns to the garden's natural elements through artistic design. This subtle connection between the calendar and nature is a detail many visitors overlook while strolling through.
