Saint-Lazare Garden, Garden in the 10th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Jardin Saint-Lazare is a small public garden in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, with lawns, paths, flower beds, and small trees. It also has a children's play area and on-site toilets.
The garden was created to give residents of the densely built 10th arrondissement access to green space, and has been renovated several times since. It sits in an area that was once shaped by textile trade and commerce.
The garden takes its name from the former Abbey of Saint-Lazare, which once stood in this part of the 10th arrondissement. Today, children use the playground with swings and small slides while adults sit on nearby benches.
The garden is easy to reach by metro, as the Château d'Eau and Poissonnière stations are nearby. The paths are flat and suitable for strollers and wheelchairs, though bikes and animals are not allowed inside.
The garden has shared planting beds that are tended by volunteers from the neighborhood. This makes it one of the few Paris city gardens where local residents take an active part in caring for the plants.
