How many squares share a heart with a place? Place Gilbert Perroy might just hold the answer. This charming square, tucked away in the 14th arrondissement’s Petit-Montrouge quarter, is more than just a quiet respite from the Parisian bustle. It’s a place where history and heart intertwine. Place Gilbert Perroy takes its name from a man deeply devoted to this very arrondissement – Gilbert Perroy. Serving as mayor from 1946 to 1977, he left an indelible mark. Perroy was not just a politician but also a historian, even founding the Société Historique et Archéologique du 14e arrondissement. He penned a book dedicated to the area’s rich history – “Histoire du XIVe arrondissement de Paris”. This square, named in his honor, stands as a testament to his legacy. Now, what about those squares sharing a heart? Two charming green spaces – Square de l’Aspirant-Dunand and Square Ferdinand-Brunot – border Place Gilbert Perroy, offering a tranquil escape within an escape. And as if that wasn’t enough, a beautiful Wallace fountain graces the square, its presence a reminder of Paris’s commitment to public art and beauty. So, as you stroll through Place Gilbert Perroy, take a moment to appreciate its understated charm and the echoes of history whispered on the breeze.
