Square Marcel-Mouloudji is marked by a distinctive sculpture of a giant, rusted metal accordion. It sits on a patch of land that once served as a junction for the busy industrial rail lines feeding the nearby slaughterhouses of La Villette. Marcel Mouloudji, a famous singer and poet born in this neighborhood, performed songs about the struggles of the working class. The city created this green space in his honor to replace the grit of the old cattle trains with a quiet place for music.
