Square Samuel-de-Champlain, Urban park in 20th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Square Samuel-de-Champlain is an urban park in Paris with landscaped garden areas, walking paths, and multiple seating spots distributed across the grounds. The space features trees and green areas that define its layout and character.
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 square takes its name from Samuel de Champlain, the French explorer who founded Quebec City and strengthened French influence in North America. This naming reflects a lasting connection between France and Canada that residents encounter when they use the space.
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.
A monument by sculptor Paul Moreau-Vauthier from 1909 stands in the park, incorporating original stones from the historical wall. The work combines artistic design with actual remnants from a significant moment in history.
