Jardin des Combattants-de-la-Nueve

Jardin des Combattants-de-la-Nueve is a small garden next to Paris City Hall with gravel paths, open lawns, and rose gardens. Trees and shrubs border the space, creating a quiet zone in the center of the city.

The garden was originally created as a private green space for Paris officials. It was renamed in 1944 to honor La Nueve, the Spanish Republican unit that first reached City Hall during Paris's liberation that year.

The garden is named after La Nueve, a Spanish Republican unit that participated in Paris's liberation during World War II. Today, visitors can see monuments and memorials that mark this connection throughout the space.

The garden is located right at Place de l'Hotel de Ville, making it easy to reach from City Hall. Visitors should plan their visit for weekends and public holidays when the space is open to the public.

An unexpected feature of the space is the presence of animal enclosures and a henhouse, transforming the garden into a small urban farm. These facilities are used by the City Hall nursery to provide children with hands-on learning opportunities.
