The Place Prosper-Goubaux sits as a small triangular island where the Rue de Prony and the Rue de Thann converge. It holds a single, weathered stone monument dedicated to Prosper Goubaux, a nineteenth century educator who founded the College Chaptal nearby. His bust sits atop a pedestal, staring toward the busy intersection. While the surrounding Plaine de Monceau grew into a neighborhood of grand mansions, this corner remains a quiet, deliberate pause in the street plan.
