Juliette Gréco Square, Pedestrian square in the 6th arrondissement, Paris
Place Juliette Gréco is a small cobblestone pedestrian square in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, near the church of Saint-Sulpice. It is enclosed by buildings on most sides and connects to the surrounding streets of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood.
The square was named after Juliette Gréco, a singer and actress born in 1927 who became closely tied to the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood from the 1940s onward. She settled near Saint-Sulpice after the war and started her career in this part of Paris.
The square sits in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a neighborhood that became a meeting point for writers, musicians, and artists after World War II. Juliette Gréco herself lived and worked here, giving the square a direct personal connection to that creative history.
The square is a short walk from the Saint-Sulpice or Saint-Germain-des-Prés metro stations and is freely accessible at any time. It makes a natural stopping point for anyone exploring the neighborhood on foot.
Gréco arrived in Paris as a teenager in 1943 and was briefly imprisoned before being released because of her young age. She found shelter near Saint-Sulpice after the war, before this part of Paris became her artistic home.
