Square Édouard-Vaillant

Square Édouard-Vaillant is an urban park in the 20th arrondissement with walking paths, seating areas, and planted gardens featuring a variety of native plant species. The space includes a children's playground and green areas for visiting.

The park was established in 1879 as Paris created more green spaces during the rapid urban growth of the late 19th century. It emerged as part of the city's effort to preserve nature and relaxation within the expanding urban landscape.

Named after socialist politician Édouard Vaillant, the square serves as a neighborhood gathering place where local residents interact and spend time together. The space reflects the community's connection to the area's social history through its public use.

The park is accessible on foot through several entrances and offers free entry to all areas at any time. Spring and summer are pleasant seasons to visit when the plantings are most vibrant and the seating areas are well-used by the community.

The square is less known than other Paris parks and maintains a quiet, neighborhood feel that locals value. Visitors find a place where working people and families gather to rest without encountering large tourist crowds.
