Square Violet

Square Violet is an urban park in the 15th arrondissement of Paris with winding pathways that lead through landscaped gardens. The space includes multiple seating areas and play equipment distributed across different zones to serve various visitors.

The square emerged as the 15th arrondissement shifted from industrial use to residential neighborhoods following Paris's urban expansion around 1860. This transformation was part of a broader citywide redesign that reshaped the southwestern section of Paris.

The square takes its name from French botanist Pierre-Victor Violet and reflects how green spaces in Paris honor scientific figures. This naming choice shows the lasting connection between plant knowledge and city planning in the neighborhood.

The park is easily accessible by public transportation with several entry points from surrounding streets. Visitors will find benches, bins, and play areas distributed throughout the grounds.

The grounds are divided into separate zones that allow different visitor groups to engage in activities simultaneously without interrupting each other. This layout makes the space flexible and welcoming to various users.
