Promenade du quai de Grenelle – Square des Martyrs-Juifs, Memorial park in 15th arrondissement, France.

Promenade du quai de Grenelle – Square des Martyrs-Juifs is a memorial garden in the 15th arrondissement, laid out in 1989 along the Seine quays above the RER C line. A curved stone base recalling the velodrome track carries Walter Spitzer and Mario Azagury's sculpture of the roundup's victims, inscribed "N'oublions jamais". A paved walkway with turquoise lamp posts and low stone borders runs past it, with the dark lattice of the Eiffel Tower rising behind.

The square was created in 1989, and the monument by sculptor Walter Spitzer and architect Mario Azagury was inaugurated in 1994. It stands above the RER C line, beside the site of the Vélodrome d'Hiver, where the roundup of 16 and 17 July 1942 took place. A bust of filmmaker Claude Lanzmann, author of Shoah, was inaugurated there on 27 January 2026.

The square's name recalls the roundup of 16 and 17 July 1942, the largest arrest of Jews in France during the Second World War. Around 16 July each year it hosts the national day of remembrance for victims of racist and antisemitic crimes of the French State, with a reading of the victims' names.

The square follows the line of the Seine quays above the RER C, next to the Place des Martyrs-Juifs-du-Vélodrome-d'Hiver; Metro Line 6 stops at Bir-Hakeim. The walkway is paved and flat, bordered by low stone walls and metal railings, with lamp posts along the edges. The monument stands on a curved base recalling the velodrome track.

Annual remembrance ceremonies read aloud the names of those who perished, creating a living tradition that connects past and present. These gatherings transform the space into a place where history becomes a shared experience.
