Square Vergennes, Garden square in 15th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Square Vergennes is a long, narrow garden space in the 15th arrondissement of Paris located in the Saint-Lambert neighborhood. It contains planted areas and walking paths throughout its length.
The square was named after Charles Gravier de Vergennes, a minister under Louis XVI, and was created in 1927 as part of Paris's urban network. This establishment marked an expansion of public spaces in the neighborhood during the early 20th century.
Number 15 was once home and workshop to master glassmaker Louis Barillet, displaying stained glass works that depict French cities. The artistic heritage of this craftsman remains visible in the building's design today.
The square starts from Rue de Vaugirard and offers easy access to metro line 12 via Vaugirard station for quick travel into central Paris. Pedestrians can navigate the space comfortably and reach nearby shops or cafes along the surrounding streets.
The buildings include the Hungarian consular section at numbers 7-9, giving the square a diplomatic dimension. The former Barillet workshop also housed the Mendjisky Museum of Paris Schools until its closure in 2017.
