Roger Priou-Valjean Square


This square was opened in 1961.

The garden, redeveloped in 2010, pays tribute to Roger Priou-Valjean (1912-1999), a former member of the French Resistance and Parisian councillor. At the corner of rue du figuier and rue du fauconnier, two fig trees perpetuate the memory of the fig tree uprooted in 1605 to facilitate the passage of the carrousel of Queen Margot, Henri IV's first wife.
