Jardin Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt

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 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 features educational panels about Egyptian archaeology, reflecting the scientific legacy of its namesake who received France's highest order of merit.
