The Place de Bagatelle features a distinct circular garden layout at the heart of its residential square, surrounded by low stone walls and mature trees. It takes its name from the nearby Château de Bagatelle, a small pleasure pavilion built in seventeen seventy-seven. The Comte d'Artois won a wager against his sister-in-law, Marie Antoinette, that he could construct the entire house and gardens in sixty-four days. Workers labored around the clock to finish the project on time for her visit.
