Carré Marigny

Carré Marigny is a green area situated between Avenue de Marigny and Avenue Matignon in central Paris, featuring benches and walking paths. The space has an open, welcoming layout designed for visitors to rest and spend time outdoors.

The site once housed the Salle Lacaze theater from 1855, which was later transformed into a panorama building designed by Charles Garnier in 1883. These successive transformations eventually led to the green space that exists today.

The square serves as a gathering place for stamp enthusiasts who come on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays to buy and sell collections. This weekly routine has shaped how locals and visitors experience the space.

The park is close to Champs-Élysées-Clemenceau and Franklin D Roosevelt metro stations, making it easy to reach. The space is open until 8:30 PM, giving visitors flexible timing for a visit.

The square hosts over 50 licensed stamp dealers, making it one of the largest open-air philatelist markets in Paris. This concentration of collectors and sellers in one compact urban space is quite remarkable.
