Square de l’Île-de-France, Urban garden near Notre-Dame Cathedral in 4th arrondissement, France.

The Square de l'Île-de-France spans 2,235 square meters of green space at the eastern end of Île de la Cité, featuring rose gardens and benches.

The square replaced a former morgue building in 1914, which had been constructed under Prefect Haussmann's supervision and resembled a small Greek temple.

The Memorial to the Martyrs of the Deportation, constructed between 1954 and 1964, stands within the square to commemorate 200,000 French deportees.

The garden remains accessible via Metro lines 4 and 10, RER stations B and C, and multiple bus routes connecting to central Paris locations.

Mrs. Giscard d'Estaing planted a rose named 'Resurrection' in 1975, marking the 30th anniversary of concentration camps liberation.
