The Saint-Bernard square features a distinctive iron fountain topped with a bronze eagle that serves as the centerpiece for the surrounding gardens. Established in eighteen sixty-three, this green space occupies the footprint of a former village cemetery serving the Goutte d'Or neighborhood. When planners redesigned this part of Paris, they cleared the graves to make room for local residents. The eagle still watches over the park, guarding a quiet patch of land that changed from a final resting place into a public square.
