Jardin du Moulin-de-la-Vierge, Urban park in 14th arrondissement, Paris, France
Description
The Jardin du Moulin-de-la-Vierge is a public green space in the 14th arrondissement with curved pathways, planted flower beds, and trees that provide shade throughout the area. The garden spans roughly 5,000 square meters and includes multiple seating spots for visitors.
History
A windmill once stood on this site before the area was transformed into a public garden during urban redevelopment in 1985. This conversion was part of the neighborhood's broader transformation.
Culture
The garden was named in 2022 after Carole Roussopoulos, a Swiss filmmaker known for her feminist work in France. This dual naming reflects the importance placed on her contributions to French cultural movements.
Practical
The garden sits along Rue Vercingétorix and connects directly to the Plaisance metro station on line 13, making it easy to reach. The layout allows visitors to walk around comfortably and explore the different planted areas.
Did you know?
The garden sits within the ZAC Guilleminot-Vercingétorix development and receives relatively light foot traffic, making it a quiet pocket of green in the city. This isolation gives the space a distinctly calm character that sets it apart from busier parks.
