Place Django Reinhardt

The Place Django Reinhardt is a small public square marked by a bronze statue of the guitarist sitting with his instrument. It occupies a wedge of land near the Porte de Clignancourt where the jazz musician lived during his final years. Reinhardt spent his days here playing for local friends and neighbors long after he had achieved international fame. The square commemorates his connection to the neighborhood, keeping the memory of his quiet, everyday presence in the eighteenth arrondissement alive for those passing through.
