Opened in 1932, Square de la Guyenne holds a secret. It wasn’t always a peaceful square. This tranquil space was once part of a mighty fortress, bastion number 12 of the Thiers wall. Imagine the bustle of soldiers preparing for battle, the rumble of cannons echoing through the air. Now, picture the serene greenery that surrounds you. Square de la Guyenne is a testament to the changing times, a transformation from military might to peaceful respite. This square takes its name from the historic French province of Guyenne. Located in the 20th arrondissement, Square de la Guyenne offers a peaceful retreat from the vibrant city. Find it nestled between Boulevard Davout and Rue Mendelssohn. This small, rectangular space, only 54 meters long and 18 meters wide, is a hidden gem. Square de la Guyenne invites you to pause and reflect on the history beneath your feet.
