The Jardin Claire-Motte occupies a quiet corner of the seventeenth arrondissement, set apart by its dense canopy of mature trees that dampen the street noise. Named for the woman who founded the first school for nurses in France, the space occupies what was once a private garden. Local residents pushed for the site to become a public park during the mid-nineteen eighties, preserving a rare green pocket in this neighborhood. A plaque near the entrance honors Claire-Motte for her medical leadership.
