Esplanade Nathalie-Sarraute, Esplanade in La Chapelle district, Paris, France.

Nathalie-Sarraute Esplanade is a broad public plaza along Pajol Street in northern Paris with wide walkways and contemporary urban design. The space connects pedestrian paths with the renovated Pajol Hall complex and clearly separates different areas for movement and gathering.

The esplanade opened in 2013 following the conversion of former railway warehouses from the SNCF into a modern urban district. This transformation brought new life to an industrial zone that had served transportation functions for decades.

The esplanade is named after Nathalie Sarraute (1900–1999), a French writer of Russian origin. The esplanade was created under this name in 2013, alongside the converted SNCF warehouse that now holds the Václav Havel library and the Yves Robert youth hostel.

The esplanade runs along Pajol Street beside the halle Pajol, whose former SNCF warehouse now holds the Václav Havel library and the Yves Robert youth hostel. The sports centre Micheline-Ostermeyer and the Aimé-Césaire secondary school at no. 2, in the former Messageries building, also open onto it. Bars and restaurants line the paving, and the surface is level throughout.

The esplanade takes its name from Nathalie Sarraute (1900–1999), a French writer of Russian origin. The neighbouring Pajol hall, a former SNCF warehouse, now houses the Václav Havel library and the Yves Robert youth hostel; the Aimé Césaire secondary school occupies the former Messageries building at No. 2.
