Did a famous civil rights activist ever influence the naming of a street? Perhaps not directly, but her spirit certainly echoes around Rue Louis Auroux. You see, this street brushes shoulders with a brand new park. This park is named after Dulcie September, a South African anti-apartheid hero tragically assassinated in Paris in 1988. The park, nestled between Rue Louis Auroux and Rue des Alouettes, is much more than just a green space. It’s a testament to the power of community. Local children let their imaginations run wild in design workshops, their ideas blossoming into the park’s playful “cabin” theme. It boasts playgrounds for children, a street workout area, ping pong tables, and even a dedicated nature reserve. Rue Louis Auroux, in its own quiet way, is a gateway to this celebration of life and legacy.
