Place Tony Dreyfus, Square in the 10th arrondissement, Paris, France
Place Tony Dreyfus is a small public square in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, sitting at the crossing of Rue du Château-d'Eau and Rue Bouchardon. It faces the Saint-Martin market and serves mainly as a passage and meeting point for people moving through the neighborhood.
The square was named after Tony Dreyfus in December 2023, honoring a lawyer, politician, and former mayor of the 10th arrondissement. The naming follows a long-standing Paris practice of giving public spaces the names of people who played a role in the life of the city.
The square is an easy walk from the Château d'Eau metro station. Because it borders a busy market street, it pairs well with a visit to the nearby Saint-Martin market or a stroll through the surrounding streets.
Although the square only received an official name in 2023, the crossing itself existed long before that, as an unnamed node in the neighborhood's street network. The naming gave formal recognition to a spot that locals had simply been passing through for years.
