Place du Venezuela

You are approaching the Place du Venezuela, a small, circular public square in the sixteenth arrondissement that serves as a quiet diplomatic gesture between two nations. It was officially established in March of 1976 as part of a bilateral agreement between Paris and Caracas. This pact arranged for the naming of this square in Paris to correspond with the creation of a Place de France, or Plaza Francia, in the capital of Venezuela. The location was chosen specifically for its proximity to the Venezuelan embassy, grounding this symbolic exchange in the everyday geography of the neighborhood.
