Square Léon-Guillot

Square Léon-Guillot is a long, narrow garden and private road within the 15th arrondissement of Paris, stretching roughly 80 meters in length. The space combines greenery with a quiet residential setting within the urban landscape.

The France Mutualiste organization created this pathway in 1934 and named it after a dentist who established an important retirement fund. The project reflected the growth of mutual aid societies in this neighborhood during that era.

A statue here honors Léon Guillot, a dentist and mutual aid advocate whose work shaped daily life in Saint-Lambert. You can see how the neighborhood acknowledges his contribution to the community.

You can reach this space easily using the Convention metro station on line 12 or the T3a tram near Georges Brassens. Since it is a private road, walking through the space gives you a quiet break from the busier surrounding streets.

This space remains unusually private, owned by France Mutualiste rather than the city, making it one of the few privately owned garden paths in Paris. This ownership structure survives from an era when mutual aid organizations shaped urban development differently.
