Jardin Solitude, Urban park in 17th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Jardin Solitude is an urban park in northern Paris with lawns, walking paths, and benches. It sits near Place du General Catroux and provides green space in a densely built neighborhood.
The space was officially established as a memorial site in 2019 to honor a 19th century figure of resistance. The renaming and redesign connected a historical name to a physical location and brought this legacy into view.
The garden is named after a woman from the Caribbean who resisted the reinstatement of slavery. Today, visitors encounter this legacy while walking through the planted areas and can reflect on what the place stands for.
The park is accessible via metro line 3, exiting at Malesherbes station and walking north from Place du General Catroux. The grounds are level and openly accessible, making it easy to visit when exploring the neighborhood.
The park holds the first statue of a Black woman in Paris, unveiled in 2022 during the National Day of Remembrance of Slavery. The monument stands as a visible marker against erasure and draws visitors who want to engage with this history.
