Square of Passy

The Square of Passy is a quiet green space that serves as a rare physical remnant of the area's distant past. While the surrounding neighborhood has evolved into a polished district of luxury boutiques and grand residential buildings, this location preserves the landscape of a former hillside village. Centuries ago, this site was part of a rural landscape populated by wine merchants and laborers who worked in the local timber industry. Today, it offers a gentle, sloping path that winds down toward the Seine, maintaining the geography that defined the original village of Passy before it was annexed by Paris in the nineteenth century.
