Square Samuel-de-Champlain

Square Samuel-de-Champlain, Urban park in 20th arrondissement, Paris, France.

Jardin Samuel-de-Champlain is a 13,192 m² green space in the 20th arrondissement, running between Avenue Gambetta and the wall of Père-Lachaise Cemetery. A broad sloping lawn of short grass, edged in dark stone and beige gravel, lies behind a low green wire fence, with bushes and mature trees beyond. At the garden's edge stands a tall retaining wall of light grey and tan stone blocks, carved with a robed female figure in relief, arms spread, beside smaller relief fragments.

The park was established in 1889 and contains a monument built using stones from the Communards' Wall, honoring those who died during the revolution. These stones came from a crucial moment in Paris history and were repositioned at this location.

The garden is named after Samuel de Champlain (1574-1635), the navigator and geographer who founded Quebec City in 1608. Its 1909 Monument aux victimes des Révolutions, by Paul Moreau-Vauthier, bears a quote from Victor Hugo carved at the lower left: "Ce que nous demandons à l'avenir, ce que nous voulons de lui, c'est la justice, pas la vengeance !"

The park sits between Père-Lachaise Cemetery to the south and Avenue Gambetta to the north, making it easy to locate. Public transportation options are available nearby to reach the space.

The Monument aux victimes des Révolutions was commissioned in 1907 and inaugurated on 24 May 1909 by the Socialistes unifiés. Its deliberately neutral title, honouring victims of all revolutions regardless of side, provoked a polemic among Communard supporters, who forced the city to place it outside the Père-Lachaise walls, in this garden. The carved female figure on the stone wall is part of the monument.
