Square de La Tour-Maubourg

Square de La Tour-Maubourg is a narrow linear garden space tucked within the Gros-Caillou neighborhood of the 7th arrondissement. The rectangular layout features pathways lined with benches and vegetation framed by Haussmann-era buildings.

The space emerged in the 1890s as part of neighborhood development, with surrounding buildings constructed during the same era. This district grew as Paris expanded beyond its medieval center into the Left Bank residential areas.

The square draws locals who pass through daily, creating a quiet meeting point within the busy neighborhood. People use the benches to rest, read, or simply watch the street life around them.

This space is freely accessible during daylight hours and has no entrance requirements, making it easy to visit while exploring the neighborhood. The benches are distributed along the pathways, so finding a place to sit is usually straightforward.

This narrow green space often goes unnoticed by visitors who pass through the neighborhood, despite being surrounded by handsome period buildings. The quiet setting offers a glimpse of everyday Paris away from major monuments and busy streets.
