The Square Jules Verne sits squeezed between residential blocks, marked by a bronze statue of the author perched high on a stone pedestal. Jules Verne holds a sextant, gazing toward the sky as if charting a course for his next novel. Before this garden appeared in nineteen seventy-eight, the site served as an industrial courtyard for a metal workshop. Workers cast iron beams here while neighbors complained of the noise and constant soot that drifted into their open windows.
