Place Raoul Follereau is a triangular public square defined by the intersection of Rue de la Grange aux Belles and Rue Juliette Dodu. It is named for the French journalist and humanitarian who spent his life campaigning against the social stigma of leprosy. Follereau traveled millions of miles to advocate for those affected by the disease, eventually establishing World Leprosy Day in nineteen fifty-four. The square serves as a quiet urban pocket, holding a small garden in honor of a man dedicated to the forgotten.
