Jardin Marguerite-Boucicaut, Public garden in 15th arrondissement, France
Jardin Marguerite-Boucicaut is a public park in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, located within a modern urban district and covering approximately 500 square meters. The garden features mature chestnut trees and a central water basin that creates a calm focal point within the space.
The park was built on the grounds of the former Boucicaut Hospital, established through the bequest of Marguerite Boucicaut, a woman associated with the Au Bon Marché department store. This transformation from a medical facility to a green space marks a significant shift in the area's development.
The garden is named after Marguerite Boucicaut, a philanthropist whose memory is honored by a bust located within the grounds. Visitors can sense the connection between this green space and the medical past of the site, which now serves as a place of remembrance.
The garden is accessible daily through multiple entrances located throughout the modern district. Its proximity to metro lines 8 and 10, as well as tram T3a, makes it easy to reach by public transportation.
The garden blends mature trees with modern sustainable design principles and includes rose beds, wild rose areas, and lavender gardens within its compact grounds. This combination shows how contemporary urban planning can honor both environmental responsibility and historical continuity.
