Square Lionel-Assouad

Square Lionel-Assouad honors a local political figure who shaped this district for decades. Lionel Assouad served as the mayor of the fourteenth arrondissement from nineteen eighty-three until two thousand and one, and he spent thirty years as a counselor for the city of Paris. The garden itself was created in the year two thousand, though it remained nameless for fifteen years until the city council officially dedicated the space to his memory in twenty fifteen.
