Square Jacques-Antoine

Square Jacques-Antoine is a small urban park in the 14th arrondissement with a triangular layout. It is planted with horse chestnut and flowering cherry trees that provide shade and seasonal blooms in a densely residential area.

The park was established in 1896 and holds the base of a monument to a historical figure. During World War II, the main statue was removed during the occupation, though the original bronze reliefs at the base survived.

The space honors a French politician and physician through monument bronzes that depict his life and actions. These reliefs remain part of the neighborhood's collective memory and visual heritage.

The space is easy to reach on foot and ideal for a break during a walk through the residential neighborhood. It offers seating under trees and functions as a designated off-leash dog area where pets can move freely.

The monument retained its original bronze reliefs at the base even after the main statue vanished during Nazi occupation. These surviving bronzes are uncommon remnants that withstood the destruction of that era.
