Jardin mémorial des enfants du Vél' d'Hiv', Holocaust memorial garden in Grenelle, Paris, France.

The garden features a limestone wall inscribed with names and ages of children, surrounded by trellises covered in white flowering vines.

In 2017, President Emmanuel Macron inaugurated this garden commemorating 4,115 Jewish children arrested during the 1942 Vel d'Hiv roundup.

The garden incorporates carved stones of various sizes, reflecting the Jewish tradition of placing white stones on graves as a sign of remembrance.

Located at 7 rue Nelaton in the 15th district, the memorial garden is accessible via Bir-Hakeim station on Metro line 6.

Twenty photographs of children and families are displayed on the garden trellis, marking the exact location of the former velodrome entrance.

Location: 15th arrondissement of Paris
