You are approaching Square René Le Gall, a tranquil park that occupies land once known as the Island of Monkeys. Centuries ago, this site was a small piece of land surrounded by two branches of the Bièvre River. Street performers frequently brought their trained monkeys to the island, letting them roam free while they entertained visitors at the nearby local taverns.
