Parvis Alan-Turing

Parvis Alan-Turing, Public square in 13th arrondissement, Paris, France

Parvis Alan-Turing is a mineral esplanade in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, running from rue Eugène-Freyssinet to rue Ada-Lovelace and wrapping around the Halle Freyssinet, home of Station F at number 5. It is the paved northern counterpart to the planted place Grace-Murray-Hopper to the south.

The parvis was created as part of the redevelopment of the Halle Freyssinet, the industrial hall it encloses. It was first designated by the provisional route number voie GK/13, running from voie GM/13 to voie GL/13, before the Conseil de Paris gave it the name Alan-Turing in 2017. The scheme framed the hall with two squares: a mineral one to the north, the parvis, and a planted one to the south, place Grace-Murray-Hopper.

The esplanade is named after British mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954). It lies beside Station F, housed at 5, parvis Alan-Turing in the former Halle Freyssinet, and the neighbouring street is named after Ada Lovelace, another computing pioneer.

The square is accessible via two Metro lines: line 6 at Chevaleret station and line 14 at Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand station. Both stations are within walking distance and connect you to central Paris with ease.

L'Arc by Urs Fischer, a monumental sculpture, was inaugurated on the parvis in February 2022. It stands beside Station F, whose address is 5, parvis Alan-Turing, in the former Halle Freyssinet. The square was laid out as the mineral counterpart to the planted place Grace-Murray-Hopper to the south.
