Square des Batignolles, Urban park in 17th arrondissement, Paris.
Square des Batignolles is an urban park in the 17th arrondissement of Paris featuring a small stream that flows through the grounds and empties into a pond. The park has winding pathways, varied trees and plants, and open areas for sitting and walking.
The park was created in 1862 during Paris's major urban redesign in the mid-1800s. Some of the trees here were already on the site before 1840 and were preserved when the park was developed.
Local residents use this park as a gathering place for daily outdoor time and family moments. People here find a quiet spot away from city streets where they can sit and watch the water flow.
The park is open daily with different hours depending on the season, opening early in the morning. Winter afternoons have earlier closing times while summer evenings allow longer visits.
Despite being close to the railway tracks of Gare Saint-Lazare, this park feels remarkably quiet and removed from train noise. The layout and plantings create a natural sound barrier that visitors often notice with surprise.
