Square Marcel-Bleustein-Blanchet

Square Marcel-Bleustein-Blanchet is an urban park in the 18th arrondissement of Paris that rises across terraced levels on a sloped site. The space features stone seating beneath a wisteria-covered pergola, a small cascade fountain, an amphitheater, and mature trees including a significant plane tree.

The site once held the Moulin de la Turlure, a grain-processing mill that operated between 1770 and 1820 during Paris's industrial period. This mill was eventually replaced by the park, which transformed the location into a public gathering space.

The square honors Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, a French resistance member and founder of Publicis Group, through its name since 2004. This dedication reflects the neighborhood's connection to figures who shaped modern French culture and business.

The park is accessible via rue de la Bonne or by taking metro line 12 to Lamarck-Caulaincourt station. The terraced design means some areas are easily reached while others require walking up or down gentle slopes.

The park contains a remarkable plane tree that has shaped the landscape for many decades, serving as a quiet landmark for many visitors. This mature tree gives the space a timeless quality amid urban Montmartre.
