Jardin de Marianne

Jardin de Marianne is an urban park in central Paris with winding paths and multiple seating areas surrounded by trees and plantings. The space includes two children's playgrounds, two petanque courts, and a spray zone for cooling off on warm days.

The park was founded in 1899 as Square de la Place-de-la-Nation and took its current name in 2019 after major renovation and expansion work. This transformation reshaped it into a modern green space for the neighborhood.

The central fountain and its water features serve as gathering places where neighbors and visitors settle to chat and spend time together. The space naturally draws people to share moments and enjoy the company of others in this part of the city.

The park is easy to reach by public transport with multiple metro lines and RER A stopping at Nation station nearby. The pathways are well-paved, making it pleasant to navigate and move through different areas.

During World War II, four bronze sea creature sculptures were removed from the original basin to recover metal for the war effort. This rare wartime measure left traces in the park's history that are scarcely visible today.
