Square Alexis Clérel de Tocqueville sits as a rectangular island of greenery, marked by its dense perimeter of tall, clipped hedges that separate the quiet interior from the busy traffic of the Plaine de Monceau. The city laid out these gardens in the nineteen thirties on land once occupied by a private estate. Alexis de Tocqueville lived nearby on rue de la Ville l'Évêque, though he died decades before these particular trees took root here to provide a formal, shaded respite for the neighborhood.
