Place du professeur Muhammad Yunus

The Place du professeur Muhammad Yunus is a small, quiet urban triangle defined by the sharp intersection of Rue des Poissonniers and Rue du Mont-Cenis. It honors the Bangladeshi economist who pioneered microcredit, providing small loans to people excluded from traditional banking. In nineteen ninety-eight, this corner was officially named for him to mark his work against poverty. A single plaque mounted on a lamppost serves as the only formal marker, sitting amidst the everyday traffic of the eighteenth arrondissement.
