Square Paul-Robin, Urban park in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France
Square Paul Robin is a small urban park in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, situated near the Rue de l'Évangile and the Stade Bertrand-Dauvin. It features gravel paths, benches, a children's play area, and rows of chestnut and cherry trees that flower in spring.
The site was once home to an artesian well drilled in the late 19th century, which reached more than 700 meters into the ground. The land was later converted into a public park that became part of everyday life in the neighborhood.
The park is named after Paul Robin, a 19th-century French educator known for his progressive ideas on education. In summer, a small music kiosk inside the park hosts a series of concerts that draw locals from the surrounding streets.
The park closes early in the evening, with closing times varying between 8 and 9 pm depending on the season. Public toilets are available across from the Rue de l'Évangile, and a bike-sharing station is located a short walk from the entrance.
A swimming pool with glass walls sits directly beside the park, giving swimmers a view straight onto the trees inside. This kind of direct visual connection between an indoor pool and a green space is rarely found in Paris.
