Henry-Bataille Square is a small, triangular patch of greenery tucked into the sixteenth arrondissement, marked by a bronze bust of the poet and playwright Henri Bataille. It occupies the quiet intersection where Rue Albéric Magnard meets Avenue des Chalets. Bataille lived just steps away in a townhouse filled with his own paintings and theater scripts. During the nineteen twenties, this spot served as a local meeting point for the literary set who gathered to discuss his latest plays before they moved to the nearby stages.
