Jardin Anna Marly

The Jardin Anna Marly features a dense, circular planting of trees that separates the quiet lawn from the busy street traffic. This small garden honors Anna Marly, a Russian-born singer who escaped the revolution and moved to Paris. During the second world war, she wrote the melody for the Chant des Partisans in a London studio. That song became the anthem of the French Resistance, played across the airwaves to coordinate underground efforts while she performed for troops in uniform.
