Square Félix-Desruelles, Urban park in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France
The square features a monumental portico adorned with Art Nouveau motifs, a statue of Bernard Palissy, and a pastoral fountain spanning 1,511 square meters.
Established in 1872, the square was named after sculptor Félix-Alexandre Desruelles, who created the pastoral fountain installed within the park in 1925.
The statue of Bernard Palissy, crafted in 1885 by Louis-Ernest Barrias, commemorates the Renaissance potter who spent twenty years researching enamel techniques.
Located at the foot of Saint-Germain-des-Prés Church, the park provides benches and walking paths for visitors exploring the 6th arrondissement.
The sandstone portico, designed by Charles Risler and Jules-Félix Coutan in 1900, was originally intended for a ceramic palace at the Universal Exhibition.
