Square des Peupliers, Garden square in 13th arrondissement, France.
Square des Peupliers features three streets with stone and brick houses, each adorned with small gardens and ornate wrought iron gates.
Established in 1926 on former empty land overlooking the covered Bièvre river, the square represents an early urban green space development in Paris.
The square takes its name from the poplar trees that once grew along the Bièvre river before it was directed into the Paris sewer system.
The garden square spans 142 meters in length and 3 meters in width, with access through number 70 rue du Moulin-des-Prés.
Three triangular-shaped pedestrian streets converge to form this garden square, where climbing plants cover the facades of small residential buildings.

These locations showcase the architectural diversity of Paris through buildings spanning from medieval times to the modern era. The city preserves structures from two millennia: Roman baths from the 3rd century, Gothic churches like Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, Renaissance mansions, and Art Nouveau apartment buildings designed by Hector Guimard. Beyond the famous monuments, visitors find hidden lanes with medieval timber-framed houses and private villas from the 19th century. The collection includes both public and private buildings. Visitors can explore the remains of the Arènes de Lutèce, where Romans once held gladiatorial contests, as well as the oldest residential houses in the city dating from the 15th century. The selection ranges from medieval church towers and classical arcades to modernist experiments of the early 20th century.
