Square Roger-Stéphane, Urban park in 7th arrondissement, Paris, France.

Square Roger-Stéphane is a small park in the 7th arrondissement featuring a modest waterfall and large trees that shade its paved pathways. Traditional garden benches dot the space, providing quiet spots for sitting among the urban surroundings.

The square opened in 1933 as square Récamier, named after the adjoining rue Juliette-Récamier; that street covers the grounds of the Abbaye-aux-Bois convent, where Juliette Récamier retired to end her days. On 22 October 2008 mayor Bertrand Delanoë renamed it for journalist and Resistance member Roger Stéphane (1919-1994), despite opposition from residents and a negative opinion (no 2007-164) of the district council chaired by Michel Dumont. Buildings erected behind it in the 1970s closed off the former vista.

The square's name honours Roger Stéphane (1919–1994), a journalist and Resistance fighter; it was renamed for him on 22 October 2008 by mayor Bertrand Delanoë. The change followed a long debate with local residents, who opposed it and were backed by a negative opinion (no. 2007-164) of the district council chaired by Michel Dumont. The lilac-flowered terraces recall the Japanese lilacs planted here.

Enter from 7 rue Juliette-Récamier, a dead-end street between two Haussmann-era buildings. Métro line 4 stops at Saint-Sulpice, lines 10 and 12 at Sèvres-Babylone. The garden is terraced and sloping, with a cascading basin and a large weeping beech; paths are paved, and a metal handrail tops the stone retaining wall on the slope.

The 2008 renaming followed a long dispute between Paris city hall and local residents, who opposed the change; the district council, chaired by Michel Dumont, had issued a negative opinion (no. 2007-164). The square had carried the name Récamier since its inauguration in 1933.
