Square Louis-XIII, Urban park in Place des Vosges, 4th arrondissement of Paris, France

The Square Louis-XIII extends across 12,706 square meters, featuring gravel paths, lawns, and four fountains supplied by water from the Ourcq canal.

Created in 1682, the square initially contained an enclosed garden surrounding an equestrian statue of Louis XIII, which was later destroyed during the French Revolution.

The central equestrian statue, designed by Charles Dupaty and Jean-Pierre Cortot, represents King Louis XIII and stands as a symbol of French monarchy.

The square opens to visitors throughout the day and connects directly to public transportation through metro stations Chemin Vert and Bastille.

In 1976, the square underwent renovation with Crimean lime trees planted along its perimeter and horse chestnut trees added in the central area.
