Square Jérôme Bellat

Square Jerome Bellat features a distinctive cast iron fountain crowned by the figure of a woman holding a pitcher, set amidst quiet pathways and shade trees. This small garden honors a local councilor who served the seventeenth arrondissement for decades during the early twentieth century. It occupies a plot of land that sits directly atop the former tracks of the Petite Ceinture railway. City planners converted this industrial corridor into a public space, burying the old line beneath a layer of parkland.
