Square Henri Collet

Square Henri Collet sits tucked away in Auteuil, distinguished by the quiet, lush greenery that surrounds a central stone fountain. This small patch of land honors the French composer Henri Collet, who spent his life deeply involved in the music and literary circles of the early twentieth century. He famously coined the term Les Six to describe a group of young composers who rejected the heavy romanticism of their predecessors. The square remains a peaceful retreat from the surrounding city streets.
