Square Raymond Queneau occupies the space where a local railway station once stood on the Petite Ceinture line. The small park features a prominent bronze sculpture by the artist Ossip Zadkine, titled The Poet. It serves as a quiet memorial to Raymond Queneau, the French novelist and co-founder of the Oulipo literary group. Queneau lived nearby and often found inspiration in the everyday rhythms of this neighborhood, turning the mundane details of Parisian street life into complex, playful structures.
