Georges-Brassens Park, Urban park in 15th arrondissement, France.
Description
Georges-Brassens Park is an urban green space in the 15th arrondissement with multiple areas: gardens, pathways, a pond, and stone play structures for children. The site retains restored buildings from its earlier use as a horse auction hall.
History
The site began as a horse market and slaughter facility built in 1894, operating for many decades. During the 1980s, the area was converted into a public park while preserving key structures like the entrance gate and bell tower.
Culture
A weekend book market operates in the former horse auction hall, drawing readers who search through collections of second-hand and rare books. The regular gatherings show how this place continues to serve as a meeting spot for people who share a love of literature.
Practical
The park is accessible during daylight hours, with opening times varying by season. Paths connect the different areas, and families find designated play spaces and shaded spots throughout.
Did you know?
Beehives occupy the highest point of the park, tended by urban beekeepers. Bull sculptures by Isidore Bonheur frame the entrance gates, serving as reminders of the site's trade heritage.
