Originally named Square du Commandant-L’Herminier, Square de la Paix stands as a testament to peace and transformation. It’s located in the 20th arrondissement, in the Charonne quarter. You can find it tucked away on rue du Commandant-L’Herminier, a street named after a French naval officer. Square de la Paix wasn’t always a peaceful haven. Its original name reflected its proximity to the street honoring Commandant L’Herminier (1902-1953). The square underwent a significant redesign in 2002. This redesign transformed it from a simple green space into a vibrant hub with four distinct areas. Now you can find a children’s playground, a sports field, ping-pong tables, and a lush green area featuring a central lawn surrounded by colorful flowerbeds. The square is easily accessible by metro. Take line 1 to the Saint-Mandé station, and you’ll be just a short walk away. While you’re enjoying Square de la Paix, remember its previous name and imagine the area before its 2002 transformation. Picture the bustling ZAC Porte-de-Vincennes development surrounding it. Square de la Paix represents more than just a name change. It signifies the revitalization of a space. This quiet escape amidst the urban landscape offers something for everyone.
