Jardin Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, Urban park in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Jardin Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt is an urban park in the 16th arrondissement of Paris with walking paths, seasonal flowers, and decorative trees throughout its grounds. The space features areas for rest and strolling, shaded by trees in a quiet setting near Avenue Adrien-Hébrard.
The park opened in 2000 as a tribute to French Egyptologist Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, who managed the Louvre's Egyptian antiquities collection from 1940 to 1992. Her career involved major international efforts to save ancient archaeological sites from destruction.
The garden has borne the name of Egyptologist Christiane Desroches Noblecourt (1913–2011) since May 2016, when it was renamed from jardin de la place-Rodin. She led the Louvre's Egyptian antiquities department and campaigned to save Nubian monuments, including Abu Simbel, from flooding.
The park is reachable through several nearby metro stations and has level pathways accessible to people with different mobility needs. Visitors can enter freely and explore the grounds at their own pace without reservations or advance planning.
The garden opened in 1972 and was renamed in May 2016 after the Egyptologist Christiane Desroches Noblecourt (1913-2011), who led the Louvre's Egyptian antiquities department; it had previously been called jardin de la place-Rodin, after the adjoining square.
