Square Anna de Noailles

The Square Anna de Noailles is the smallest public green space in the sixteenth arrondissement of Paris. Created in 1932, the site serves as a quiet tribute to the poet and novelist Anna de Noailles, a major figure in the Parisian literary scene during the early twentieth century. She was a prominent socialite and a friend to many of the era's greatest minds, including Marcel Proust and Colette. Her own work was defined by a sensual, lyrical style that often grappled with intense themes of nature, love, and the inevitability of death.
