Square Saint-Médard, Urban park in Paris, France
Square Saint-Médard, now also called square Miss.Tic, is a gated park at the corner of rue Censier and the end of rue Mouffetard, beside the church of Saint-Médard. A low green metal fence with stone corner posts encloses gravel and paved paths between low shrubs and young trees, with tall pale-barked trees rising above. Signs on the fence read "SQUARE SAINT-MÉDARD", "ENTRÉE" and "SORTIE".
The site was the burial ground of the Saint-Médard church from 1512 to 1798. The Censier fountain and houses stood here until their demolition in 1868-1869, and the square was laid out in 1875 as square Saint-Médard. In late May 2024 it was renamed square Miss.Tic after the French street artist (1956-2022).
The square carries the name of Miss.Tic (1956-2022), a French street artist, poet and plastic artist, since late May 2024; it was previously called square Saint-Médard. The white sign on the green fence still reads "SQUARE SAINT-MÉDARD", beside an "ENTRÉE" panel and a green "SORTIE" sign. The renaming honours an artist whose stencilled figures appeared on Paris walls.
The ground is flat and paths are easy to walk, making it simple to move around for most visitors. Mornings and late afternoons tend to be quieter, so those times work well for a slower visit.
The square was renamed in late May 2024 in memory of Miss.Tic (1956–2022), a French street artist, poet and visual artist. Before the square was created in 1875, its site held the Censier fountain and houses demolished in 1868–1869.
