Square Marie-Trintignant, Urban park in Saint-Gervais district, Paris, France.
Square Marie-Trintignant is a compact green space of about 790 square meters in the heart of the 4th arrondissement, planted with fig trees, cherry trees, and informal garden growth. The grounds feature a naturalistic character with dense foliage and unmanicured plantings that set it apart from Paris's formally designed parks.
The site was originally home to a covered market built in 1877 before being transformed into a public square in 1933. Its renaming in 2007 to honor actress Marie Trintignant marked a modern reimagining of this historical location.
The square is named after French actress Marie Trintignant, honoring her memory within the city. Local residents and visitors find a quiet retreat under fig and cherry trees, using the space as a personal garden away from busy streets.
The square can be entered through the building at 11 rue de l'Ave-Maria or from Quai des Célestins, with both entrances centrally located and easy to spot. The nearest Metro stations Pont Marie and Sully-Morland are only a short walk away, making access straightforward.
The square offers free WiFi to visitors, a rare feature in the Marais district's small green spaces. This blend of rural garden feel with modern convenience makes it an unexpected hybrid of old and new Paris.
